Wow!
Meg Brennan Roberts is the oldest daughter in a Catholic raised family. She?s always the ?good sister? doing everything right. Married for seventeen years and the mother of 3, Meg feels something is missing. She?s increasingly unhappy and dissatisfied with the path her life has taken. This midlife crisis or what not has her questioning her life, her career and her marriage and what she really wants out of life.
The first word that comes to mind if someone were to ask me about The Good Woman would be WOW! This book will take you on a roller coaster of emotions from happy to sad to wanting to throw the book across the room in denial and finally into happiness and hope for the future. I was a little apprehensive about reading The Good Woman because of some of the subject matter, but once I started, I was hooked. I could not put it down. Jane Porter did a great job with the story and working with the intricacies of not only being the older, more responsible sister who holds herself to a higher standard than everyone else, but also of a woman who?s not quite sure how her life ended up where it did and what to do about the feelings of loneliness and increasing unhappiness. I really enjoyed getting to know the Brennan family and I look forward to reading the rest of the books in The Brennan Sisters trilogy!
