I'm always interested in books about the BVM. This one felt flat. It included a lot of history that was not well integrated into the overall plot, and the overall plot was not much -- Mary visits an ordinary woman, a writer, and the writer then writes this book about the experience. There was a lot of caginess about the author's life -- hints about some big secret or terrible past that was never revealed.
The premise is interesting as a creative nonfiction idea. The intro reveals that the author did a lot of study of other authors... who, frankly, do this a lot better than this author did.
