Janet Fitch definitely does narrative, but while the narration of White Oleander complimented its compelling plot to a tee, this time I felt like I was being pummeled with imagery and repetitive metaphor. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, especially the penultimate chapter, but had I not known, I would have thought that Paint It Black was Fitch's first novel.

Please note, much like Helen Garp, I am a READER, NOT a writer.
