The Ladies' Lending Library: A Novel di Janice Kulyk Keefer
hard to follow characters and choppy language. stopped reading 1/4 through. Maybe will finish another time

I picked up this book on sale on impulse, and I am so lost. I haven't even gotten halfway through it. I cannot keep up with all the names of the women and who their husbands are. Sometimes they are mentioned by first name, sometimes by last name. What happened to the 3 year old baby that fell? I was just at that part and tried to skim ahead a little but ugh. I'm not sure I can finish this.
Reading the other reviews here and I think other people have already said it. Beware. This might be a good story somewhere but I'm lost, completely lost!… (altro)

i understand the 1 rating. the book skips around in time which is not my favourite writing style and it's sometimes hard to keep the female characters straight. she springs a surprise on us right at the end and doesn't talk about it much. so she is an annoying writer but her story is pretty good.
