Query: Pretentious Twaddle

Well, that's it really. I had to finish it because someone else was waiting for my opinion. I found the little bits of French translation and the awful Danielle Westerman connection very show-offy. In fact the latter's name and opinions appearing on nearly every page drove me to wild laughter before I was halfway through. I thought the whole book was like very bad Anne Tyler, if there can be such a thing, and I didn't believe a word of the plot, or care much what happened to any of them. The only good thing I can say is that someone else paid for the book, so only my time was wasted.
