Attachment by Isabel Fonesca

This book got a lot of hype in the NY Times book review. I just had to read it as it seemed about a woman about my age. Alas it was a bit of a disappointment- the story of Jean, an American married to a Brit, who suspects her husband is having an affair. They live on an island in the Indian Ocean but seem to bounce around from London to NY with ease. I read Isabel's earlier book  Bury Me Standing about gypsies, which was non fiction and interesting. While I liked her writing style in this book and the twists at the end, the story jumped around too much for me. I would not recommend this book.
