6/28/2023 0 Comments She's My Dad by Iolanthe WoulffWoulff has an amazing ability to paint the character portraits with incredible sharpness and clarity so you don’t lose sight of who is doing what. In addition to the intelligence of the book, it is witty, clever, and engaging-full of suspense and mystery. Actually, there are interesting words that pique one’s curiosity of how the characters interact with each other however, not so many as to bog down the flow of the storyline. It is not written in the typical fifth-grade English that most novels today are. The college openly accepts everyone through their doors who wants an education but, there are some people who were bred in Southern tradition and are set about what they feel should be right and proper-and, they are not happy about Windfield College. It is a modern day allegory that shows the inside truth of people set in a northern Virginia college town. Even though the book does have a transsexual person in it, it is not about the process or the whys and whatnots. It is not a journey of mismatched sour romances nor it is a book of soul searching, familiar movies, or transsexuals. “She’s My Dad” is not what I expected it to be. And, even though I do review books I am happy to report that all the reviews are accurate. My first thought when I saw the high ratings for “She’s My Dad” was the author must have a lot of friends-the book cannot be that good.
