Disillusioned by the love and wealth that had ruined the life of her beautiful mother, divorce attorney Willie Dellahaye is determined to get even in her own way, but her dreams of vengeance become undermined by passion
This book was gifted me by a friend who knew I loved reading a lot. At first when I started the book, I thought it was going to be another man-hating feminist propaganda book with shallow female characters represented as eternal victims and shallow evil male characters.
But Jessica March shocked me. All the characters are brilliantly written and balanced. I easily connected with all of them and saw their points of view. The female lead herself was very balanced, hardworking and is a woman a lot of young women should look up to.
I also love how in the end, she saw how her passions and personal vengeance consumed her and tried to be a better person, always willing to hear both sides of every story, and more importantly, allowing herself to love and be loved.
I feel this book is so good partly because it was written in the 80s. Most feminist books written in our modern times are trashy, with selfish, shallow, whorish and foolish female leads. So this was a breath of fresh air.
(1988) Was a great find. It captivates the reader because of all the wrongful actions of characters in the book. Ginny and her daughter both suffer at the hands of loved ones. The daughter goes on to attaining a law degree and helping people (mainly women) with law suits that seem so impossible to win. That being said she becomes well known. March described the court cases and the process and arguments which made this so intriguing.
