I wonder why so many male writers try to write from the viewpoint of a woman. Some can successfully accomplish it, others just make the woman unlikeable. I did not like the protagonist in the beginning, middle or the end. The premise of the book was strange, the marriage to her husband was strange, her purpose throughout the book was undefined and ridiculous, and her attitude toward all the people she met was very off putting although they all put up with her and answered her questions. I wonder why? In real life, I don't see this happening. Supposedly, she wanted to be a writer and she said she could speak properly, but she just didn't want to so she spoke as someone rude and uneducated . Listening to the poor grammar throughout was annoying and I would expect that her writing if she every did any, would be just as shabby. I listened to the whole book because I wanted to give it a chance, turns out, in the end, the whole book was a scheme to accuse the reader and apparently, all Americans, of being Xenophobic. I don't like writing a bad review, and usually would not do it, but I was mad at myself for dragging through the entire book and giving the author the benefit of the doubt hoping it would get better....... in the end only to be insulted.

Very good book, shows the similarities going back many years between what's happening now and what happened then. And the key is that the bills were bipartisan and people were able to work together in the best interest of the country, unfortunately it took assassination attempts in both cases to get things done. Hopefully we learned our lesson and things will change going forward.
