A Married Woman by Manju Kapur

4.0

Oyo! /o\ I took a relatively long time to finish this because I got so stressed about Astha's awful marriage. It was like the beginning of [b:The Blue Castle|95693|The Blue Castle |L.M. Montgomery|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1214964817s/95693.jpg|1298683] where Valancy is having a hell of a time and you hate her family's guts because they are so horrible. At least Kapur had the kindness to end her book at the same time as Astha's relationship with Pip, rather than forcing us to live out Astha's long miserable life. I hope it gets better later. I hope she earns sufficient money from her painting and eventually when her children have grown up she and her husband can kind of quietly drift apart and she can have a better life.

Anyway, I thought it was good!
