A huge disappointment. I loved The Silence of the Girls so I had high expectations of this one.The writing´s still beautiful, although some anachronistic idioms jar, but beautiful writing isn´t enough to carry a book. No sense of direction-won´t speak of plot here-, repetitive.
A pity.

I'm sorry this book didn't live up to your expectations, Paula. It's on my list ...

Summed up my feelings well, especially regarding the anachronisms. Seemed like they were everywhere.
I was disappointed as well!
Thank you for mentioning the anachronisms! These characters all have such a distinctly British voice, which I have found so strange. I didn’t notice it as much in the first book but it’s everywhere in this one. Someone received a “bollocking” and it just threw me right out of the story.
