Different, different, different. This book moved at an extraordinary fast pace. One moment you are witnessing Pearline's physical abuse then two pages later she is pregnant with twins by another man that she now proclaims to love.
If you are looking for a book with a lot of action, drama and suspense, I don't recommend this novel. I found this book to be very superficial. There really was not substance to this book. I finished the book, but I kept wanting for something to happen. Maybe that is the affect Ms. Thomas was trying to achieve. This book was definitely different.
