“Fans of Rebecca will love this early 20th-c drama. More than anything, I like the way Goodwin develops Cora's character; somehow the most insipid of characters becomes the most steely of the bunch. The ending is a bit pat and a bit too quick, but I enjoyed this story.”

Sam wrote this review Tuesday, February 19, 2013. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“Not bad but I expected more. It was as if until a certain point the plot is going in one direction and then it sort of ends abruptly, somehow like it often happens with soap operas: months of lingering and then all problems are suddenly solved in the last episode... ”
