A review by katzreads
Alentejo Blue by Monica Ali

1.0

This is one of those books that had such amazing reviews that I was SURE it was going to be good. And I guess that's why I kept reading, because I never really enjoyed it. The story looked at the lives of many different people in a small town in Portugal, and most of the characters were so thinly described that I had trouble knowing which one I was reading about at any given moment, and their interactions were so peripheral that I never really got the point of even trying to bring them together. I'm annoyed with myself that I read it to the end. . .I should have moved on to something I enjoyed more!
