I bought this book after reading the back cover as well as all the rave reviews. I thought enjoy the atmosphere of the "tree bean" by Barbara Kingsolver, but nay .. As the heroine of Barbara Kingsolver, Maeve takes the road driving his old car (only the mark differs) to leave her small town and join LA and like Taylor, Maeve fails in a backwater. ????? ? There is a certain lack of originality !!! I was annoyed throughout the novel. Where my exasperation reached its height, it is when one learns the real reason for starting Maeve she is full rehashing throughout the book. I think that this tragedy could have had the same impact if Kerry REICHS had devoted a few pages. But here it is heavy ...., more than half of the book. The icing on the cake is the love story with the beautiful Noah, predictable from the start. It also makes the pub "gracious" for American magazines, writers (including Barbara Kingsolver ??) and so on. Cà filled the pages, but it's boring and annoying. I felt, in reading his book, Kerry Reichs had about (plagiarism of the tree beans) at the beginning and it has filled his book with syrup, ... affectations, not a only description of the countries it went through, but she was taking pictures of his beloved car wherever she went ... Now I'll read the sublime "tree bean" and its sequel "pigs to Paradise" to put me in a good mood, because here I am upset.
