Book Reviews of A Bigamist's Daughter
Book Review: A woman's view of men and love
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful examination of male-female relationships. The book is funny, it is insightful, it is a revelation to me, a a man. I suspected, but was not clued in to the workings of the female mind. The author ( as in Charming Billy ) is fascinated with the concept of obsessive love. And posits that we have the capacity to love many in a lifetime; star crossed lovers are fine for Romeo and Juliette, but not in the real world. She sees the choices and tradeoffs which we face,and presents them in a most thoughtful and engaging way. I really liked this book. More than her later, "Charming Billy".
She is a talented writer.
