Title: sophomore curse
Review: I thought The Pleasing Hour was a gem, so this follow-up came as a real disappointment. The plot itself is intriguing, and it kept me reading. But the writing is often clumsy and even amateurish, reminding me of the style in which The Lovely Bones was written. Reading it was like listening to an out-of-tune piano. I sensed the author's eagerness to devastate us with pithy, profound observations and insights, but ultimately, the characters and the story itself rang false. Still, reading it did inspire me to pick up Tess of the D'Urbervilles again. Through the main character, the author gave me much more insight into Hardy's book than my own English teacher gave me in high school. I should add an extra star for that!
