Read a part of this book. It was not very appealling to me. The prose really drags along. It is the story of Walter and Patty who live in Minnesota. Patty is a transplant from New York who came to the University of Minnesota on a basketball scholarship. Walter is a native Minnesotan. The book is supposed to be about their family and them selves, but after more than 150 pages, the author is still writing about their college days.
I decided not to finish the book. Nothing much was happening, and over 500 pages seems like a lot of reading effort to invest in the book. I see that the book is an Oprah's Book Club selection. Isn't this the author who refused to be a part of the book club several years ago? If anyone else has some insight into this work, let me know!
