double bind

I picked this one up cheap at a Half Price Books in TX because I rather enjoyed Chris Bohjalian’s Midwives way back when I read it.

I feel like I can’t say hardly anything about The Double Bind without giving too much of the story away.  So I won’t really. 

I didn’t quite connect with this novel really.  I was curious throughout to find out what the main character, Laurel, would find out but I just didn’t really feel like I cared about her.  I suppose I should have expected the ending but really I didn’t see it coming.  In the end, I was just kind of eh about it. 

Word of warning: while the descriptions of Laurel’s attack aren’t graphic, they ended up lingering in my head.
