The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens

3.0

I will go with I will possibly read this again... probably not but since it is a maybe i will give this book a 3. I would have given it a 2 1/2 again if there was half stars.

During the first hundred pages or so of this book I just wanted to put it down, however I endured. Mary just took forever to figure out what the reader already knew in the first few chapters. The book was not a page turner and when I put it down I had no impulse to pick it up right away.

Once Mary got to California and met the array of people there, I feel the story improved. The cam the end....I have to say that the end left me both fulfilled and yet empty. I liked it but hated it at the same time. Mary gave away all her money, was living with her mother-in-law, working for free and not saying anything about the home she left in Canada or Gooch taking out money (was it him?? she did lose her card. She was living at his mother house too, wasn't she eventually bound to see him. But I did like the way that Mary accepted herself and fought her demons.
