The Gloaming by Melanie Finn

2.0

Time will tell if this book will stick in my memory or just fade away. It tells the story of a car accident committed by the main character where she kills three children after her husband divorces her for another woman. If we are supposed to hate the main character, then this book is on target. She decides to run away to Africa after being stalked a little and sleeps with the detective on the accident case. She has unlimited money and the book is constantly mentioning how pretty she is. All this comes after she traveled the world with her husband for over a decade. Am I supposed to feel sorry for her? So while she's in Africa she meets some interesting characters who are mostly white and terrible. I don't need a book full of happy people but it didn't strike a chord with me.
