Weycombe by G.M. Malliet
3.0
3.5 stars. I really try not to be one of those people who doesn't like books because the main characters are unlikable, but I really couldn't stand Jillian, the narrator of this one, practically from the start, and I didn't care about her either, which is the cardinal sin for me. Writers can make their readers care for even unlikable characters. I definitely wouldn't want to be BFFs with Scarlett O'Hara, but I do care what happens to her. This woman was so whiny and had such utter contempt for everyone around her , apart from Rashima, her one friend (and I didn't find that relationship believable), that you had to wonder what on earth had ever attracted her husband to her in the first place. That being said, what had actually happened only dawned on me around the time the author probably wanted me to figure it out, so I didn't figure it out too soon. I wish she hadn't left the ending hanging, though.
