Unfolding over the next twenty-four hours, this searing, fast-paced audiobookl explores the complex ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, the meaning of devotion, and the line between love and hate.

I found this book to be insufferably boring, not at all like the description of a "fast paced" audio book. Although the book opens some interesting topics, such as the "complex ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, . . . ." it addresses them in such a shallow, simple manner, that you are left empty and hollow. The story is neither moving or gripping. The ending is even more disappointing then the rest of the book. Basically this book is a big waste of time and a download credit.
