The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg Summary and Reviews
Book Reviews of The Art of MendingBook Review: You call that an ending?!
I bought this book because I had just read a book by Elizbeth Berg that I loved (Say When). This book started great and I was flying through it. I suddenly realized that I had at most 10 pages to go before the book was done and there was absolutely NO WAY the story was going to have a solid ending. I was right, it didn't. For the amount of emotional build-up the novel had, the ending was so completely ridiculous. Laura's sister, Caroline, sopposedly endured a horrible childhood due to her mother. The whole entire book was about the injustices Caroline suffered at the hands of her mother and about obtaining her siblings acknowledgement of such things. And then it just ended. Caroline suddenly forgets her YEARS of misery (that we spent PAGES reading about) and then the book is complete? What the heck? |
