I've been meaning to read this book for a long time; I've read 150 pages and I've decided to throw in the towel. I just compared notes with a friend about how many books on a list of banned books we'd read: she'd read 30, and I'd read only 9 and two halves.
And too busy. After I'd gotten to the 150 page mark, I was actually very interested in finishing. But life intervened, and I was very busy for the next week.
This is a book about a married woman with children, and the protagonist of the novel is both a happy person and a person who inner consciousness we're allowed to share. Cecilia is constantly making observations about her husband and her children that I think will be very familiar to other mothers. She, too, is nearly run off her feet and doesn't have much opportunity, I don't think, to think very deeply about what it is that she's doing and how she feels about things and herself.
I recently chatted with a co-worker who had just finished the book and learned that by the end of the book, a lot has happened, a lot has changed, and Cecilia has had opportunity enough to have a lot to think about.
The book is well-plotted, suspenseful, and very importantly, relatable. It is an entertaining book.
This book has proved to be SO popular. People are still taking about it.
I see that new editions of her earlier books have been published. Those are The Hypnotist's Love Story, What Alice Forgot, Three Wishes, and Last Anniversary. Her latest book is Big Little Lies, which has also been a bestseller.
