Boring, slow-paced story did not hold my attention

Two women in a small fishing village share their friendship.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wives of the Fisherman (Hardcover)
This is a very enjoyable book of the friendship and lives of two women in a small fishing village in Scotland. The book is so well written that you actually feel you are a part of village life. The book draws a moving portrait of the lives of fisherman and how it affects their families. Characters are well written especially the contrast between quiet, steady Myrtle and her flirty,best friend Annie. The book has many themes about friendship and love. I would highly recommend this book. This is the first book I read by this author, but hope to read her other books.

A lovely visit to a Scottish fishing village,
By Tanya M. Reynolds "tanyamr" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wives of the Fishermen (Paperback)
I read this book for a book club/discussion group and did not go into it with any expectations. Wives of the Fishermen turned out to be a charming glimpse into another place and community. Huth's characters were graciously developed and I felt as if I knew the characters personally.

You find yourself wondering why Myrtle keeps putting up with Annie and her bratty, flirty, accusatory ways. The death of Archie is very sad and the turning point for the story, yet the plot remains snail-paced and sleepy. I don't recommend this book if you are looking for a pleasant, fast-paced, interestingread. |
