Garden of Lies
by Eileen Goudge
I have to admit I skimmed through large portions of this book. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I have read books by this author before, and understand many of her books are reissues and were originally published in the late 1980's. I actually enjoy many 'retro- romance' novels, but this one was too long, and too depressing. I do think I understand what the author was going for, and the time frame this was written in saw many women at a crossroads, some still firmly rooted in traditional ideals and others questioning all that stood for, while others turned their backs on it completely.
But, by the time I had gone through the whole sordid tale of switched at birth and the two very different lives the women led as a result and the way they were treated by the men in their lives, I started feeling a little down and gloomy. So, I fast forwarded a little and I'm glad I did, because the ending wasn't worth going through all that drama for.
This one is a 1.5 rounded to 2
