So far, I am enjoying the Bread Givers. Once I start reading, it is extremely easy to finish the assigned chapters for the week. The only character I am completely frustrated with is the Father. With every chapter, the father is becoming increasingly more stubborn, self centered and insane. The fact that he blames his daughters for the fraudulent men he chose for them to marry, clearly shows how selfish he is, and his inability to take responsibility for his own actions.
As the "matchmaker," the father chose a "diamond dealer" for Mashah. Much to their dismay, the diamond dealer was merely a diamond salesmen who ended up losing his job because he was caught showering Mashah with his jewels. A month after Mashah's wedding, she returned home hungry and her father only responded with much criticism for "her" bad judgement in choosing a husband. Save as Draft

I agree with you completely in terms of your opinion on the father. He is chauvinistic, sexist, and yes, as you put it, insane. If it weren't for him, I'd probably really love reading this book.
