A review by pammoore
Sons and Daughters of Ease and Plenty by Ramona Ausubel

2.0

I loved the beginning but about halfway through I just couldn't care anymore. I didn't get a chance to like or understand Edgar or Fern enough to understand either of their decisions to leave their family. While I realize it is fiction, there has to be some suspension of disbelief for this plotline to work, and it just didn't work for me. I kept on asking myself, "Who would DO this!?" I skimmed from about the halfway point to the three-quarters-ish mark... I read/skimmed up to about 80 or 90% when I decided I just don't have time for this anymore. The book had so much potential. The author is a beautiful writer. The characters just need more development.
