Bread Alone by Judith R. Hendricks
2.0
I didn't read every single word--I got to page 204, realized the triteness was bugging me, and proceeded to skim until the end. Basically, a rich husband wants some time out of his marriage, and his wife (Wynter, the main character) struggles with getting over him and finding her own way. One of the activities that helps her is baking bread, and she pursues that far away from her husband.
I didn't like Wynter, and couldn't really blame her husband for wanting out of the relationship. She was whiny, pathetic, paranoid and somewhat helpless. I hoped that over time I would grow to root for her, and cheer her on as she comes to grips with her new life. But nope, she always irritated me. The other characters weren't great either, and the whole story was too predictable.
(This title was read for my Food for Thought book club.)
