Michelle Williams Books

This book starts out intriguing. The main character is riddled with grief over a horrible thing she did years ago and now she's in her mid 30's and dying of old age (...?) and she decides to bear her soul to a priest. So, sprinkled among long descriptions on how to make soup and harvest plumbs among other menial household tasks my imagination has always been satisfied to skip over, we have a basic plot surrounding two unmarried pregnant girls. Honestly, although I did not expect the twist to be what it was, it just didn't add up to anything in my mind worth telling a story about. At the end of the book, after our first main character gets this big secret off her chest, she feels better and goes back to doing housework.
Basically, the writing was dry, the plot was empty, the characters unappealing. I was compelled to find out what the big secret was and after that, the only thing that kept me reading was the fact that I only had three pages left to go. Waste of time book. Bad.
