A Simple Thing by Kathleen McCleary

2.0

This was a selection for my local book club. Let me start out by saying that contemporary fiction is just not my cup of tea unless it has a "little something extra" such as an unpredictable story line or an author who really knows how to get you to connect with the characters. This was neither of those things, although it wasn't a bad story. I like a little more depth to my characters, these characters seemed very one-dimensional and cliched. If you're looking for a feel-good mother/daughter coming to understand one another, overcoming family issues novel this might be for you. As I mentioned, it's just not my idea of an enjoyable read.
