Daughters-in-Law Audiobook

" I am so wishing [again] for 1/2 stars! I thought this a very intelligent and well-written book--a solid 3 1/2, but considering some of the books I've rated a 3, I'll upgrade this to 4. "

" Recommend it for anyone with less than perfect relationships with their mother-in-law. Characters were believable and the book seeks to look at the problem of in-law relationships from all angles. "

" A solid 3.5 stars. A nice read which does make you think. "

" Typical JT - got a bit bored with all the middle-class angst - lightweight!! "

" Kindle book...I love English novels and Daughter-in-Law is a good one. "

" An entertaining and quick "woman's novel" that focuses on the lives of the Brinkley family--specifically on Rachel, the mother of three married sons and their wives: Sigrid, Petra, and Charlotte. The book is well written and has some valuable insights into negotiating relationships with one's mother-in-law; however, Petra and Ralph's relationship is unconvincing and the author really doesn't do much to assist our understanding of the odd, rather faceless Petra. The loose ends are tidied up all too neatly and happily. A more realistic resolution to Ralph and Petra's marital dilemma would have made this a much stronger book. "

" A great holiday or beach read. Definitely a book for the ladies and an easy page turner with nothing too demanding. However the characters and relationships are honest and well observed. Trollope's writing is also rather funny and I had many a good chuckle while reading. "

" I loved this family drama and all the characters were well drawn, interesting and appealing. "

" I really enjoy this author and just stumbled upon her one day. I received this as an advanced reader copy and read it on my nook very quickly. I got really involved and the lives of the children and their parents and could relate to the story. Enjoyable read! "

" Very good exploration of family dynamics. The given description (from the book cover) is quite misleading; makes me wonder if the person who wrote it actually read the book. "

" I just love this writer. She can draw you into the lives of her characters so well. "

" I am so unhappy with this book. Joanna was long winded. Happy that Rachel was not my mother-inlaw. "

" Loved, loved, loved this book! "

" I love books about families and the lives they lead. Unfortunately this book did not have characters that I loved and they didn't do anything that was interesting. It was okay but definitely not a favorite. "

" I liked the character development and how the author kept you guessing. "

" Another excellent Joanna Trollope book "

" Good read as always, but not her best novel. "

" This could have been an introduction to my early life with my husband. Enjoyed the read. "

" I have loved all of Joanna Trollope's books. She just seems to "get" family dynamics. "

" I thought this was an easy book to read, a great summer read. I hated some of the characters and liked some of the others. I'm not sure it's one that I would read again though. "

" Not her best--a little bit too Binchy-esque for me, but still very readable. "
