There is a lot going on in this small Michigan town where most of the characters seem to be related by birth or marriage or both. There are infidelities, divorces, abandoned children, racism, teen pregnancies and a pedophile running a day care until he is convicted. There are too many characters in often shifting timelines to make this book memorable. A flow chart would have been beneficial in trying to keep the characters straight. ( ) This novel is a vegetable novel of characters and complications - for me a few too many. This book mixes racial issues in small town Michigan with a strong dose of pedophilia centering on the principle character Eliza/Beth. Some will love this book but for me there are too many husbands, ex husbands, in laws, kids, fathers and mothers (step and biological). The author needs to supply an organizational chart with how they are interconnected. The story is fine but navigating all the people is distracting to the story. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"River Bend, Michigan, is the kind of small town most can't imagine leaving, but three women couldn't wait to escape. When each must return--Linda Williams, never sure what she wants; her mother, Paula, always too sure; and Beth DeWitt, one of River Bend's only black daughters, now a mother of two who'd planned to raise her own children anywhere else--their paths collide under Beth's father's roof. As one town struggles to contain all of their love affairs and secrets, a local scandal forces Beth to confront her own devastating past. Filled with the voices of mothers and daughters, husbands, lovers, and fathers, The House of Deep Water explores motherhood, trauma, love, loss, and new beginnings found in a most unlikely place: home"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
