Floraison
I won't be reading the other Honeyfield books. This one was decent but tedious to read. I spent most, if not all, of the book waiting for something to happen. Mostly it was just a telling of the characters' lives (with an emphasis on the female lead) almost in a documentary manner. It spans a little over 10 years culminating in the coming together of most of the characters' lives. However, like most authors who put the reader through drama, angst, tragedy and one unfair event after another, the ending was disappointing. I wish there had been a epilogue of some kind telling you what happened with Rhoda, one of the main characters, or the son who was disowned by this father, or the widow of the lead's father in law, the list goes on. It's entirely possible the author may fill in some of those gaping holes in her story in the later books but I'll never know because those books will most likely not have any payoffs in the end either.
