The way she told Catherine's story had me very invested in her life. I came to know her and like her, and I came to want to sit her down and lecture her for her poor choices in life. Catherine is a dichotomy. At once fiercely independent, and incredibly lonesome. Controlling to a fault, her world is sent spiralling out of control for awhile.Catherine lived an unsupervised childhood on the docks helping her father in his fish business. Her family was always viewed as a little off, who ever heard of good Catholics CHOOSING to have only one child. And a mother who wears men's suits to dress up, being averse to dresses and skirts. It seems that Catherine was guided from an unguided childhood, to never need anyone, and yet she desperately wants to be able to be vulnerable. She feels compelled to push everyone away so she doesn't look weak, even as life brings her to her knees. She waffles back and forth between wanting to end her engagement to a man she feels she should want to marry, and though every bone in her body tells her its wrong, she stays and stays.....I wrote more, but I inadvertantly erased it, and I don't feel like writing it again.I like it, worth a read,the end.

On the wrong side of twenty, Catherine Lacey decides it's time to take the plunge. With her career as a wholesale fish dealer in New York's Fulton Fish Market firmly in place, marriage to her lawyer-fiancé Steve seems the inevitable next step. Until she descends into the depths of pre-marital hell. Between engagement parties, deadly dull corporate functions, and increasingly frantic dress fittings, Catherine fears she's losing sight of what really matters-love, work, and happiness. So she embarks on a quest for the answers to life's really important questions, such as: Do I truly love the man I'm going to marry? If the answer to the first question is yes, why am I so attracted to other men, i.e., some of those sexy hunks at the Fish Market? The Trouble with Catherinetakes readers on a liberating journey through the minefields of modern love, sex, friendship, and womanhood. Witty, stylish, and dead-on target, it is a welcome addition to contemporary women's fiction. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
