2.0 out of 5 stars very disappointing, December 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If, like me, you are an Adele Parks fan and love pretty much everything she churns out, 'Happy Families' will be a sore disappointment. For some strange reason Parks completely veers off from her usual eloquent and bubbly prose and instead has produced a novel that is simplistic in style and not particularly interesting plot wise. The tale of a middle-aged surburban single mum fails to take off and plods along, and her characters fail to draw empathy or come across as anything but one dimensional. I usually enjoy Adele Parks' novels immensely and have no idea why she has decided to stray from her usual winning formula, but I hope her next novel will revert back to her usual gripping style.
