raenyreads 's review for:

The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell
4.5
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

I really enjoyed this. I emotionally connected with and felt for the main character. The way the story is structured kept me interested the whole way through. I wasn't sure what way the author was going to with the ending but I like what she did. I also really appreciate the Waterstones extra essay at the end of my copy as I think it made me like the book even more.
