My Review
Bronwyn
Mitchell's living large...arm candy for her self-absorbed husband, Ron, whose
super-charged libido gets him into all sorts of trouble. Well, Bronwyn's
liberal enough in her thinking but, when Ron brings home the next
'Marilyn-Monroe-Wannabe' actress and proposes a threesome...thank Heavens
Bronwyn has sense enough to get out! The only problem with leaving the old
cushy life behind and starting fresh is that she has no real skills: except, of
course, she looks great in a skirt.
Bronwyn's soul searching as she struggles through the confusion of her
life-change, leads her to some interesting conclusions about her personal value.
On the way to enlightenment, she bumps into her old flame (that she ditched to
marry the wealthier, Ron) and an insular clerk at Changes, the bookstore her
friends keep telling her to visit. Changes, symbolically enough, is a bit
of a metaphor for Bronwyn's experiences. The author cleverly weaves in
some of the passages of books Bronwyn chooses from Changes, which help her
reflect on her situation.
The story is fast-paced, and, at the beginning I found it a little hard to
bond with Bronwyn. The theme of a poor little rich girl -shaken up by
one more decadent thing in her life- just wasn't getting it for me. I
wanted to slap her a couple of times when it seemed she really was clueless.
I was pleasantly surprised by the soul searching she did and the
realizations that resulted. Over-all, I enjoyed this book. I rated it with 3 stars and plan to
read Campbell's next one.
