I liked this one a lot. I sympathized with Cora and found it realistic that her attitudes on certain issues would change over her lifetime.  I kind of think the last part of the book went on too long, or the book should have ended before it did. Louise was cruel but a complex self-destructive person.  Her mother was a hard character to tolerate.
