elkcariboubiologist 's review for:
The Kashmir Shawl
by Rosie Thomas
I have to say, another disappointment. Overall I was very interested in the storyline and I did think that the characters were fascinating and for the most part very well developed. That said, I think my biggest frustration was how long the book was and how much detail on things not really related to the story one had to wade through in order to get back to the main characters. In fact, when I realized that almost all the loose ends had been tied up, I was shocked to find that I was only 60% through the book. Therefore, in my opinion, 30-40% of the book could easily have been edited out with no real detraction to what the author was trying to do. I also was quite disappointed in the ending...again, all the stories I read do not have to be happily ever after books, but for this one, I felt let down in a big way.
