Book Reviews of Heart and Soul
Book Review: A Bit Tedious And Contrived
Summary: 3 Stars
I have read many of Binchy's books and this one is the weakest. She is stringing together tedious vignettes of her characters. Based on a new cardiology clinic operated by Dr. Clare Casey, an attractive, almost-divorced cardiologist, Binchy brings in the stories of patients, their families and the staff and their families and extended friends. She does weave interesting plots at times but after 300 pages, I know what is going to happen.
I believe the strength in the book is in her mother-daughter relationships. They are realistic, particularly the dialogue. She also updates her novel by including e-mail, passwords and other techy usages to make her characters seem real. I believe it would have been more interesting to concentrate and flesh out a few characters, rather than jump from one to the other. She is a master, however, of segue.
