Elizabeth B. (MsLizB) - , reviewed on 2/21/2012

Helpful Score: 1

I looked forward to reading this book, but was deeply disappointed. Clara, as she is portrayed in this novel is a jerk. She wants to be liberated, but calls the women she works with 'my girls'. She acts like she's honest and moral, but she goes for years seeing a man she thinks is married, but won't ask because she doesn't want to stop seeing him. She looks down on the immigrants and other poor that she encounters. She wants everything both ways. I really hope Clara was a better person than she is portrayed here.

This author (I've read other books by her) is unable to portray people with any depth or true understanding. The stories she chooses to tell could be so compelling if only she was able to develop the characters beyond two-dimensional
