This book was terrible. Read for “1984” in the #192025 challenge, I assumed it might be dated. And it was —in all the worst ways. Most of the men are patronizing, sexist jerks. The female protagonist lets her husband treat her like crap and makes excuses for him for most of the book. Stilted, awkward dialogue—it‘s like the author never heard people talk before. I hate-read most of it. This is like Hall of Fame horrible. Good riddance. 😖
