After Oz

The ending makes this a 3.5 star book instead of the 3 stars I was originally going to give. This was less of a retelling than I was expecting. There is very little Dorothy Gale. It's more about a female psychologist who gets drawn into Dorothy's orbit after she is accused of murder and sent to an insane asylum. She is drawn because her cousin (conveniently Frank Baum) is a newspaper reporter sent to cover Dorothy's murder trial. The only part I disliked was the “pious” narrator. I wanted to punch them in the nose.
