Retro Reads

The Virgin Blue
By Tracy Chevalier

I don't remember a single thing about this book.
Set in the French town of Lisle-sur-Tarn with characters named Isabelle & Etienne & Petit-Jean & Jean Paul.
My comments were:  "Confused.  Let Down.  Another book about the misunderstood wife who finally realizes her strength."
I go in waves.  I dislike male protagonists in books.  But I really hate stuffed up females trying to make a point.  I just like people to be real.  They don't always have to find themselves, you know?

Also, I made some reference to red hair plucking, dead bone arranging and sex nightmares in this book.
Huh?
