Guest Reviewer: Kate Alcott on The Undertow by Jo BakerKate Alcott, the author of The Dressmaker, was a reporter covering politics in Washington D.C., where she and her husband still live.

Here Jo Baker reveals the Hastings’ legacy of choices made, chances lost, and truths long buried in what is an enthralling story of inheritance, fate, passion, and what it means to truly break free of the past..

"People won't buy it if they can't lift it" is no longer a valid argument in the era of the e-reader. We want to savor the full meal, not have the waiter hovering to take the plates away.. "Depressing story" according to Natalie McMurdy. I know, it was pretty true to life, but I was not entertained. I had to push myself to finish the book. I could have put it down and not finished it, but I hate to do that. I was hoping there was a happy ending. I guess you could say that Billie was happy by the end of the book. Would not recommend this story to my friends.. Does not live up to its publicity M. Coleman After reading two favorable reviews, I eagerly ordered the Kindle version of The Undertow. I found the characters unappealing and uninteresting and their circumstances sordid. It was not until the final generation that I found a sympathetic individual. I was greatly disappointed as I had expected a truly compelling family saga.
