  • Strong character development? No

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.5

Listened to the overwrought narration, which probably served the story well but definitely is not my cup of tea. Some touching details about interactions between the sisters were mildly compelling, but the plot seemed contrived and the story overall seemed devoid of character development. A gifted screenwriter and director could salvage the whole mess and make a fine movie of it. Also I appreciated that the violence against women that I expected to form the dramatic turning point of the book did not in fact come to be.
