What makes all the difference to me is that Dahl makes it clear she's being a jerk, and it's not excused. I also felt I understood where her -I agree- boorish behaviour was coming from.

It was so insulting and dismissive. I found it hard to believe he would keep coming back after she basically told him, despite his business success and general all around nice ways "you are not educated and refined enough for me." All the while she was acting (IMHO) very boorish. I know we are shown this is because of her history but it seemed callous and unlikable on her part. I have however, enjoyed other Dahl books including "Real Men Will" which make your top ten list. I found the heroine of that one both empowered and likable despite some terrible things happening to her in her past.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-14962936295697972402012-08-20T06:48:29.933+01:002012-08-20T06:48:29.933+01:00It took me a while to pick up that last one as wel...It took me a while to pick up that last one as well, but I think it's probably my favourite out of the 3.

I read the first one, but for some reasons, not the two subsequent books. Although I did read other of her books. Guess it's time to go back and dig them out of the TBR pile :) Thanks for the review, Rosario!nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.com
