I loved this book, I loved everything about this book, this book made me want to go home and live in an outport and die there.

Un livre plutôt ennuyant à l'écriture inégale. La premisse était intéressante mais la livraison rate la cible. J'aurais aimé creuser plus profondément les personnages dont celui de Trish qui était le plus intéressant.
Le style de narration était original mais j'ai eu du mal à suivre sans dialogues évidents, avec les changements de point de vue en passant par celui de Marthe à celui de la narratrice? Ce n'était pas toujours clair.
Le sujet important du droit à l'avortement et la liberté des femmes, voire la cause du féminisme et de liberté de corps se trouve perdu dans l'histoire de Marthe un personnage à peu de reliefs.

mactammonty's review against another edition

slow-paced

 I thought that this book was going to go somewhere. Like Jane it did not want to do more than talk. I gave up at 31%.
