ReplyDeleteWell... I will try this again. I thought I was deleting a duplicate comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my questions, Bobby. I enjoyed your answers and continue to enjoy your art, which is the reason your blog is one of my favorites.
I tried to read Perfect Peace but could not finish it beyond the first few chapters because of the backwardness of the parents and the midwife. They all interrupted my perfect peace. I do wonder what happened to the male child that the mother made a girl for her own selfish reason of wanting a female child. How did it affect the child when he learned he was actually a girl at age 8, I think? How did the father react and how did the child's multiple, funny-named siblings react to now having another brother?
I have so many unanswered questions -- none that I expect you to answer. I was just wondering out loud or in print.
☺
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions.

Thanks for the nomination, even though I missed it :-).
DeleteI know I could work harder on my blog, but I am a person of few words. I just like to draw..lol
As for Perfect Peace, it was the last book I read, and I think it ruined my enjoyment for reading for a long while. It really never made any sense. I could not sympathize with one character in the book, except for the child, because he was thrust into a situation which he had no control over. The mother did eventually commit suicide, which I felt was very weak of her. To leave your child all alone after basically ruining his life? The father totally turned on the child like it was his fault. Also, this book makes it seem like you can make someone gay or straight. There were so many holes in the plot. I really expected more from the story.
You're welcome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know what ultimately happened in the book. I would have never imagined that the mother committed suicide. I am sure the child was confused by everything. The cover image is what caught my eye when I was browsing Amazon.com for something else and that book was suggested.
Please don't let this poorly written story make you give up on reading.
