review 1: I'm giving this two stars as I reserve one star for novels that I am unable to finish, but needless to say I did not enjoy this novel. I found it to be unnecessarily drawn out, the dialogue was incredibly irritating, neither central character had any endearing qualities, and the story was predictable. I read it for the book club I attend and I will be honest that it is not from a genre I would voluntarily read. The only saving grace was that it was very easy reading.
review 2: This is my first book from this author and I loved it. In fact I sat up until after midnight and read it in one sitting. The story just flowed from one chapter to the next and there never seemed to be a suitable moment to put the book down. The theme of the book is marriage breakups and h... moreow they affect all members of the extended family. The main characters' story is told as a series of taped conversations with the Family Court counsellor and they really show the worst side of two people fighting over a child whom they both claim to love. The title is very meaningful because Matilda is missing from the dialogue for most of the book. I will certainly try more books from this author. less
