★★☆☆☆
Most overrated book of the year
This is a romance novel masquerading as literary fiction.
The plot becomes increasingly ludicrous as it progresses, and by the end it is laughable.
The dialogue limps from cliche to cliche. The heavy-handed dialect is painful to read.
Some good nature writing — that’s the only redeeming quality, and the reason why I am giving this two stars instead of one.
The NYT should fire that reviewer.
