peregrrine 's review for:
White Oleander
by Janet Fitch
The plot was engaging, and a good deal of the writing was beautiful. One thing that didn’t make a lot of sense to me was Astrid’s refusal to choose and easy life, resulting in her continued complaints about a difficult life. Why would she choose further trauma? Maybe this is a naïve thought. The character of Ingrid (her mother) was interesting, and scratched an itch for me.
