The Diaries of Jane Somers

Average rating5
I don't really know how to rate this book, as the first part (the diary of a good neighbour) is very well written and portrays diverse realities coming together with intensity and style, while the second part (if the old could...) must be the dullest thing I have ever read. The portrayal of niece Kate is infuriatingly stupid, and the impossible love story with Richard is recounted with a naivetè that is all bore and no ingenuity whatsoever.
I'm truly sorry to write this, but Doris, dearest: if the old could... suck less?
