A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay
2.0
Urrrrrrg!
Her writing style totally sucks you right in. I was really into this book after melanies accident. easy peasy and lovely to read her style. I also am attending a Celebration of Life this weekend and found the themes of love and death appropriate.
BUT WTF (stop reading here if you dont want to spoil the end for yourself!) The big `secret` is that Antonio and Melanies mother was having an affair with a woman before she died?! That is it? BORING. there wasnt even the real mystery of how she died, until i was too bored of the story to care. The death of Pauline was the most touching and grabbing part of the story. SHe should have written the whole novel on that instead in my opinion. this one was a dud.
If I can say something nice, it was very refreshing to read a story like this from a male POV. I did actually grow to like Antonio.
