This novel has a more involved plot than her previous books. It was quite good, although Bowen‘s writing continues to challenge me. There will be a very beautifully structured sentence followed by a sentence I don‘t even understand. 😆

Disappointed. I had been looking forward to reading Bowen, of whom I read some great reviews.
I obviously started with the wrong one (at least I hope), because I didn't enjoy it at all. A lousy plot, interesting characters but not well worked out and long sentences with nothing of interest in them.
Maybe I'll be more nuanced later on, but for now I am mostly disappointed. #1001books
