Ms. Edwards has created characters that are not very realistic. I found it difficult to relate to the motives of any of these characters. David was certainly not anyone I've ever run across.His character was totally unbeleivable. Ms. Edwards needs to talk to more men. The passages relating to his photography were boring. Who cares???? I didn't egt the connection she was trying so desperately to make between David's passion for photography and his "losses".I had a hard time believing that Norah was suffering so VERY much yet since the death of her daughetr at birth, that when she finally meets her...she takes off to France w/ her new husband. Oh well..guess it's too late to have a relationship with my daughter whom I thought dead..which led to the destruction of every other relationship in my life. Ya, sure........ Not very beleivable.
