This book should have been called, "The Man With No Ambition". That seems to sum it up so much better than some obscure blanket that was referenced twice and is supposed to wrap up the whole plot of the book. We get it, you're trying to be all deep and meaningful. Except, your book is literally about nothing. This man does one thing well, and that's work. It's the only thing he's good at, it's the only thing he truly cares for. He obviously doesn't care for any of his family- he can't find anything nice to say about them- not even his own daughter. He describes her as awkward looking, and never really shows her any affection or love. "But he doesn't know how!" You cry. To which, I reply, bull. He shows Maud May more love and affection than he does his own flesh and blood. He clearly feels no real ties to Sophia, as he sleeps with Martine the second she seems attractive to him. This man has no drive, no love, and no will, and berates others in his mind that do. This type of person gets no sympathy from me. The book simply ended as well- no tie ups, no direction, no indication of what was to happen next. Tyler can do this because nothing happened in the first place. I won't be reading anymore of her works. To those of who are saying, "Tell us how you really feel". Oh look, I just did.
