After enjoying Sebold’s earlier book, “The Lovely Bones”, I was looking forward to this one. Sadly, it did not live up to my expectations. The story of a middle-aged woman making an impromptu decision to kill her mother after years of psychological abuse should have been compelling but, instead, Sebold’s dreary, disjointed and dispassionate account completely failed to engage me. I slogged my way through the book and couldn’t wait for it all to be over.
