A review by lissalovestoread
Born in Shame by Nora Roberts
3.0
This was a reread for me. I read this when it first came out, and happened to come across it and re-read it in an afternoon. It's beyond an easy read. It is certainly not the best of this trilogy, and as with the entire trilogy, the book has a litany of complaints against it that have been hashed out enough that I feel I can skip mentioning them all in detail. It's a Nora Roberts book. You know what to expect when you pick it up, and that's what you're looking for when you pick it up. :)
At the end of the day, I just liked the characters of Maggie & Brianna, no matter how :::insert scathing adjective here::: they may be. ;) And so reading the final book in the trilogy was a way to finish off their story for me.
Is it life-changing literature? Of course not. Is it a realistic portrait of Ireland and her citizens in the late 1990s? Again, no. Is it something fun to read while nursing an injury? Yep. And that's what I needed on this particular day. :)
