Mother Of Pearl

A Novel

Full of funny, quarrelsome, and quirky characters generating near-nuclear energy on talk alone, Mother of Pearl introduces readers to the McAlisters, a family rivalling Faulkner's Sartoris clan and crossed with Snopeses and laughter.

Cried from boredom, and narrator's voice

I had no empathy or sympathy for, nor any interest in, this family or story. Couldn't have cared less about what happened to any of them or why-any intrigue was lost in unnecessary details and dialogue. I guess the author wanted to be Jane Austin. Rambling, nonsensical. Narrators voice was a bit too sharp-I finished, only because I'm not a quitter.
