Helpless by Barbara Gowdy
2.0
One of those strange books where you never really know which character you side with, at some points I found all the characters incredibly frustrating and at others terribly sorry for one or the other.
The writing style is very engaging and the story an interesting one but I felt rather letdown when I got to the end.
One of my main issues is that it was as if the writer suddenly realised she needed to end the book, the last few pages felt incredibly rushed in relation to the detail present in the rest of the book. The ending did not leave me at all satisfied, there were so many answered questions and wondering what happened afterwards. I was prepared to give the book a four star rating had it not been for the letdown end.
