The rating isnt entirely fair for the first 2. I really was enjoying myself. I thought Coras story was fascinating and I loved how the author gave us information about Coras past and yet threaded the present day story too. Of course, I did find it a bit silly as there were loads of historical inaccuracies that threw me out of the story things like saying that, pre 1. Online Dexter Season 6'>Online Dexter Season 6.

I get that Cora might be hesitant to use these, but Louise and other characters her age should have been tossing them out But for the most part, I could overlook the inaccuracies because the story was fascinating. In the first two parts, Cora is a very stodgy, prudish, opinionated woman. Girls had to be kept pure, hemlines should cover the ankle, and alcohol was deplorable. But slowly, we realize her story her yearning to know where she came from, to see someone that looks like her, to find real joy in her life, to release desire and passion she cant find in her marriage. She starts to see how things that she thought were horrible may not actually be so bad the contrast of Coras corset to Louises brief dresses rings true.

Instead of the author focusing on one time, on a set of characters and fleshing them out, we have to speed through years and decades and upon reaching the end, Im still not sure what the point is that could not have been said in a couple of page epilogue. Here be spoilers view spoilerCora brings home her lover and his child and they become her long lost brother and niece. She blackmails her gay husband into agreeing because she is keeping his secret about being gay. Basically she found out he was gay and then hes like, You cant tell because if you do, youll be destitute.

Cora then embraces alcohol, fashions without corsets, and contraceptives. She sets up a ridiculously named home for pregnant women Kindness House. All her friends and neighbors love her and NO ONE SUSPECTS her brother is her lover. NO ONE. EVER. Not even when he never leaves her house for his own after hes back on his feet. Because, yeah, they are still boinking on the side on Mondays and Fridays when her lover gets time off because the 3. TOTALLY known for their flexible work hours.

SHE is basically the impetus for Louise making her modest come back of sorts. The end felt like it was written by a fangirl. Oh and Cora is so modern and enlightened She also encouraged Louise to be amazing and not give upAnd everyone loves her And she still has lots of sexy sex with her lover under everyones nose and her husband NEVER SAYS A WORD hide spoilerPart 3 DESTROYED this book for me. Part 3 RUINED the greatness of the earlier book. Part 3 ANNIHILATED the moral, the theme, the MEAT of this book. Not to mention, after reading this book, why the flying frak was Louise Brooks the girl Cora chaperonedOther than being a convenient outlet for the author to info dump all her research, there was no reason it had to be Louise Brooks instead of fill in the blank spunky young teenager. Louise Brooks had almost no influence on Cora, other than being a way for Cora to go to New York and find her mother. And certainly, in that horrible Part 3, all that happened was the author regurgitating a bunch of Louise Brooks notes and research on the page. This book was a MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT. This book could have been an enlightening book about a womans discovery of life and self, and instead it took the beautiful theme it started with and destroyed it. It took what had been so beautifully crafted in Parts 1 and 2 and negated it in the end. This book would have earned full 4 stars without Part 3 it was so gripping and enchanting, a fascinating look at a womans discovery at a time when being a woman sucked. But I cannot in good conscious rate this book anything higher than 2 stars because of the horrid ending. Should you choose to read this, stop before you get to Part 3. Youll only regret reading it. ETA I note a lot of negative reviews seem to go, Cora is immoral and this book applauds being immoral. Its hateful of traditionalChristian values and mores. This is NOT WHY I dont like the book. I didnt dislike the book because of a gay character which, yes, they were hidden back in the 1. I didnt dislike the book because Cora took a lover. I didnt dislike the book because Cora supported birth control. I disliked the book because the ending made no sense. Watch Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World`S End Online Freeform. I disliked the book because I felt it totally twisted Cora into a modern woman whose life experienced no challenges even with the very controversial things in it the gay husband, the acceptance of birth control, the lover. Her husband stays closeted and respected. Her lover is never discovered, even with the slapshod cover story. She speaks out about condoms and none of the women ostracize her, even if they firmly dont agree. I disliked the book because the entire third part was just a fly by of every American social highlight in the last 6. It didnt spend time like the first two parts in really creating characters and a scene it was more important to whisk through time for some reason than to craft an ambiance, to spend time in ONE ERA with a set of characters, SHOWING us who they are. Who is Greta Who is Joseph Who is Walt and Earle and Howard What about their wives We never know. We dont get to see these people, to interact with them, because its more important to briefly talk about World War II or have a random niece mention how bad calling black people coloreds are or a silly story about a dentist that was infatuated with Josephine Baker though can you blame him she was frakking talented. I actually thought Cora taking a lover made sense.
