“My mother asked me to read this book at the start of the year. She had gotten halfway through the text but gave up. She wanted to know if the main character had sex with a priest. She did not.
"All Saints" is about a fifty year old high school teacher. She has a thing, not really an affair, with a student. Another student dies. One is pregnant. It's a good book for the beach (I've read one or two books on a beach so I'm not really sure what I'm talking about) and a good book for other fifty year old women. As a twenty six year old male, I somewhat enjoyed the book. A basic understanding of Catholicism helped. A basic understanding of fifty year old women is not necessary. ”
“I really liked this book as I started it. I think my mood changed while I was reading it and it became somewhat unappealing as I moved along. However, I think that was more me than the book. I found the characters and their interactions interesting. The story was different and didn't necessarily take the easy way out.”
