Review: Lady of Hay

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I really struggled to read this. Like many others, I found the historical story, that of Matilda, much more interesting than the current-day events. But the current-day storyline is what really ruined it for me. All of the characters were completely unlikable and downright psychotic.Nike brutally rapes and repeatedly attacks Jo, but he claims to love her. Jo conveniently moves past all that and they end up happily ever after.Why was Sam completely off his rocker? No good explanation is ever given, other than spirit possession.What was the point of Richard de Clare and Tim? Matilda falls in love with someone she can't have and royally screws her life up? Jo screws Tim because he used to be Richard, and then he conveniently melts away into the background to moan and rend his clothing in an appropriately helpless way?And Jo... what a weak, co-dependent, neurotic "heroine."
