The Wise Women: A Novel por Gina Sorell
Oof. This is so poorly written. The first chapter is just exposition drop central without a single interesting turn of phrase (but more than its share of cliches). Pass.
Two sisters in New York City, one married and one not married, rely on each other for support through a floundering marriage, and stressful career, a young son on the autism spectrum and a mother who they felt neglected them while she established herself as an advice columnists. Just when things begin to get really complicated for both daughters, the mother swoops in with some not-so-bad advice.
To be honest, I thought MOTHERS AND OTHER STRANGERS was a thriller. At least that is the feeling I got from the book's blurb. The first thing the blurb says about the book is: "My father proposed to my mother at gunpoint when she was nineteen, and knowing that she was already pregnant with a dead man's child, she accepted." Wow, that is what I call a captivating line. I just had to read this book! Alas, this book is not a thriller. It's about a woman finding herself, learning more about the past, and finding peace.
