Query: What Happened?

A long time reader of Charlotte Vale Allen, I was excited to see a new book by her on the shelves. I couldn't wait to begin this title shoving away others which were waiting. By about page 60, I found myself sadly disppaointed. Yes, the book and its various plots had all of the elements long time readers of Allens are familair with but for some reason this time the book didn't appeal to me. While the premise isn't an entirely new one, there was nothing special about this title which made me want to continue reading it. As a matter of fact, in the face of some terrible problems which should make one care, I found Allens characters to be wooden and never felt as though I knew them or wanted to. And the medical portion of the book was a bit much for this type of book, I thought. All in all compared to one of my favorite books by Allen, Leftover Dreams, the end of this book was a welcome parting gift.
