At first I thought this was going to be a light-hearted
humorous read as the early chapters indicated, but then it began to turn to
more serious issues. This was all done through the eyes of Suzette; her boring
life, her boring (to her) husband and her inability to accept what was going on
around her - i.e. Racism.
The realisation that she could step out of her cloistered
existence and embrace the world she inhabits, and could actually do something
to right its wrongs, is the spine that underpins this novel.
I bought this sometime ago and have only just got around to
reading it, and like others who reviewed earlier there were some typo issues
with my copy. (since posting this review, the author assures me that the book has been completely re-edited) However, it doesn’t alter the fact that this is still a very good
book.
The characters are well rounded and the plot well written. I
found myself detesting the villains in the saga due to how well they were
portrayed. The main character I wanted to give a kick to, to make her see what
was in front of her and to get her to do something about it. Fortunately, she
does, but the repercussions are not only felt by her.
