Query: Such a disappointment

"Summer of My German Soldier" is one of my all-time favorite books, which made "Morning is a Long Time Coming" an even bigger disappointment. The main character, Patty, has gone from an engaging and sympathetic lead character to a shallow and, quite frankly, annoying one.The story starts out well enough, with Patty coming of age and deciding to follow through on her search for Anton's family and the reactions of her town and immediate family. But the story begins to go downhill once she leaves for France. The plot is slow, full of uninteresting characters and even less interesting plotlines. Even the ending is a confusing disappointment and leaves readers feeling cheated.A book that was better off not written.
