I can see where the author thought she was going with making Elaine’s story (originally by Tennyson) into a powerful feminist retelling. Homie, this was not a feminist book. It was more like an example of why not to let women run things.  It was painfully redundant, slow and the ending tells a horrible story to anyone suffering from depression.
