Query: Not My Favorite From A Favorite Author

Truthfully, SKP is such a great writer I am pretty sure I'd enjoy reading her grocery list, but for some reason, Reckoning left me cold. The story was a protracted agony, as the reader will perceive (or run to Wikipedia) for the history. I am forever amazed at her sympathetic characterization of men, while her women seem to be on the shallow, brittle side. Of course they may also be victims of an era and class that so limited the scope of their choices. Even a weaker effort from this author is a worthy read.
