A review by tobia
The House by the River by Lena Manta

Did not finish book.
I stopped reading at 45%.

It’s just boring, redundant and predictable.
Nothing happens every life is the same in a different setting and I am pretty sure I know the ending: the all meet back at the house by the river. Yawn...

I couldn’t separate the girls names it just felt all so similar l. I didn’t buy into the role woman played of being so passive and depended on their husband but ok this might be the time and area. I was interested in learning more but there was just nothing new, no real conflict, no real feelings, it was just like a river flowing by - you can continue watching aka reading but most likely the scenery stays the same...

I guess some people like this kind of story. I am not one of them.
