I waited anxiously for my turn to read this book. I suppose hearing a CBC book review caught my interest and my being a school teacher made Nora, the main character, from a world with which I am very familiar. What I found was a novel that might have been better as a short story. The character seemed to travel in a spiral that went around and around the same self absorbed issues but it never made me really care if they got resolved or not. I've heard some reviewers describe it as a good read because its central character is unlikeable. That doesn't make it a book I'm glad I spent my precious reading time with though.
