Because the story was, well, boring. I would consider I have a love-hate relationship with the work of Anne Enright. July 1st 2014 Maddy is naive and emotional but I thought it was on the scale of believable, and I couldn't help but root for her to succeed in her career. At first, I was willing to forgive her because she got caught up quickly in Steven Weller's world, but really for someone who waGood beach book.
Actress by Anne Enright was long-listed for the Women’s Prize just after I finished reading it. Can't even recommend this one as a beach read, it just annoyed me from beginning to end. Good beach book. That’s the only reason I finished the book. A nonsensical and all over the place plot, unlikable and paranoid characters, inconsistent and confusing chronology, and ridiculous and melodramatic dialogue. Most importantly, the way Katherine and her daughter actually were together seems largely missing, even though their relationship is at the very center of the book, they remain disjointed, somehow. Loved it! And these were bad ones! The characters all lacked personality and proper descriptions, as if this was a fanfic where the reader already knew how they looked and behaved.
Amy Sohn is the author of the upcoming novel The Actress, which will be published by Simon & Schuster in July 2014. A woman, a mother, a thespian…so well known and yet so unknowable to the person closest to her, her only daughter. Just get people to stop reading them.”
Not sure what the book was trying to achieve - relationship angst? This is what he wanted and knew, this is what I wanted. The big question (mystery) of the book is what got me all the way to the end.

It's a guilty pleasure, but some parts the characters are just unbearably unreasonable of just plain unlikeable. I thought the Green Road was pretty good in places but it felt episodic and now Actress.This is so damn good. Bad, bad, bad. Published She has been a columnist at New York magazine, New York Press, the New York Post and Grazia (UK). Her other novels are Motherland, Prospect Park West, My Old Man, and Run Catch Kiss. I listened to the audiobook which she reads herself and this was such a genius thing to do – her narration is pitchperfect and works exceedingly well for the stream-of-consciousness feel of the book.I have a special fondness for novels that are about actresses/actors. .... oh it is extremely well written - don't know about "literary".Actress by Anne Enright is a 2020 W.W.

Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. It was really really good, would highly recommend but had a few instances in which I felt merited the -.5 --> if you read it, let me know what you think!Minor fun guessing who in real Hollywood is which character, but the writing and plotting are awfulClearly a thinly veiled story about a real-life Hollywood superstar, this mildly engaging book is an easy read. Well, a little guilt, but only the fun kind that adds a frisson to the pleasure. As her daughter Norah retraces her mother’s celebrated career and bohemian life, she delves into long-kept secrets, both her mother’s and her own.Did you end up reading it? Good Hollywood book with a main character you wish would go away.Fascinating industry. I kept waiting for something to happen but nothing ever did.
