This was very good. Jenkins' writing and descriptions are just lovely. Everyone felt very real. I didn't really like any of the main trio though. I had sympathy for Imogen, but she's so passive (and I get it. She's a woman of a certain time and place, just... hard to watch). Evelyn is pretty horrible all around. Blanche is another sort of woman and takes advantage of that. I'm glad I read this, and I'll definitely read more Jenkins, but I need a break from books about infidelity/broken marriages. (It won't happen - it's a common theme - but I can dream.)
