Anna's Book by Barbara Vine, Ruth Rendell
While stranded in a bookstore I found this lovely book 2nd hand. My review on http://www.goodreads.com/
3 of 5 stars I am divided.
I loved this book, but disliked it at the same time. Extremely good writing, but wondered if I would ever hit the mystery. The 2nd half was worth keeping on and I wanted to find out what the answer was. I wondered for awhile if it would end with the last sad book I read and never finding out; no closure. It did not do that. One big dislike for me was the diaries were so drab, I cannot get why they would be so popular like that. That did not make sense. Skipped some of that and I skipped another section of of some document also. I just could not endure it. so some of this book ranked 2, some 4, so compromised on 3. The skipped parts may have even been a one, but the 2nd half made up for it. I also do not like generational books with people dying off. That is real life, but I read to be uplifted, not depressed.
