What do readers think of Before the War by Fay Weldon? Write your own review.

I tried and tried for the past several days to continue reading this book, but I can't get any farther than the first half. It jumps around.....is fragmented beyond what I can comprehend...and I just can't find the story. I felt I gave it a good effort..but I can't continue. It feels like I'm wasting my time when I could be reading something more to my liking. Perhaps this is this author's style (I've never read it before). But I'm giving up.

A very disappointing book. The story just wandered all over the place. Really no plot. I found myself going back to read what I had just read to keep all the events and characters straight. I would not recommend this book.
