San Miguel

T. Coraghessan Boyle

The lives of three women on turn-of-the-20th-century San Miguel are shaped by ambition and circumstance, including the wife of a Civil War veteran who hopes to recover her health, her rebellious aspiring actress daughter and a librarian who wonders if the island's peace will endure in the face of looming war. By the National Book Award finalist author of Drop City.

The last few chapters felt redeeming plot-wise, but overall it was a pretty "meh" reading experience.
