A review by kc1005us
By Any Name by Cynthia Voigt
3.0
I received a digital copy of By Any Name from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I loved Cynthia Voigt as a child & felt compelled to read her new novel.
I found the story pulled me in, & at times, I was so frustrated with her in-laws & friends that I wanted to stop reading--definitely the sign of a good author if you can make me dislike a character or two! Rida definitely was a unique character & her family & daughters benefited from that.
I did find parts of the story choppy to read. It is told from her daughter Beth's voice. The ending was a bit abrupt, but otherwise the story would have dragged on from there.
