Ratings and reviews

I love Joanna Trollope. Her characters are real and human. But that being said, these adult children are selfish and annoying. And they all seem so fishy washy so often. They can't make a decision about anything. This reminds me of a PBS Masterpiece series called Flesh and Blood. Thoughtless family and neighbor consumed with their own lives and only concerned about their mother and her love life as it affects them but never her. Rather tiresome. But again, I love how Trollope can capture the minutia of life with it's impact on all.
