The Infinite Plan
Isabel Allende
Jean felt short-changed because the book had been hyped as "brilliant". She felt it did not live up to the praise lavished on the cover. It is a rattling good yarn set in North America with ridiculous coincidences. Gregory is born into a travelling family - his father is a preacher. They fall on hard times, living in a Spanish ghetto in Los Angeles. He serves in Vietnam, becomes a rich lawyer, but is unhappy and goes into therapy. Jean was not engaged.
