I wanted to love this, I really did. Having had no cable📺 until after I was 12, there was a lot of TNG to go around🛸 I‘m was & an a fan of Stewart‘s acting however this, for me was a dud. #HailTheBail at 30%

I tried reading this book TWICE. I made it to page 76 this time, but the writing is messy and sidetracks every other page. Nothing really interesting has happened, and all the characters are weird and not in an appealing way. Couldn‘t connect to anything.

Enough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂

The title is the only good part of this book.

4/80

Bailed at 12%. I couldn‘t stand these silly women much longer.

I really wanted to like this, as the premise sounded awesome. But for me, it didn‘t live up to the premise. I struggled to become engaged in the story and to connect with any of the characters. Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the hype, but this one wasn‘t for me.

I read “The Restless Dolly Maunder” last year when it was on The Women‘s Prize for Fiction Longlist and I loved that book. Ever since I wanted to read more by Granville. I thought this sounded interesting, but it was not for me.

I‘m not sure if it‘s the wrong time, the translation or that‘s it due back at the library, but I read 20p maybe andI wasn‘t gripped.

I‘ll see if I try anything else by her in the future

DNF. That is all.

I‘m being honest with myself—I‘m never going to read this book. I started it months ago and was immediately stymied, as it read to me like a book one needs to have some knowledge of Indian history going in to understand and I just don‘t. Since, it has just sat, and today is the day I admit it isn‘t going to happen.
