Scarlet Birthright: What They Left Behind

Wrote a review for

A young man has a passionate affair and then abandons his lover for another woman; decades later, their daughter confronts their legacy.

This is one of those books where there's nothing wrong with the writing, but where something just feels off. I think everything just felt a little too tidy for me: the characters had perfectly reasonable motives for their actions and conflict was met with rational reactions when emotional ones would have been more natural.
