Title: Trudging through mud
Product review: Now I know why I found this book in the $5.00 Bargain Bin. I picked it up to entertain me over some flights and it mostly succeeded in inducing sleep - which was a plus, I suppose. You'd think some extraordinary things could happen living in an old castle in Prague in the early 1990's. Not to mention the intrigue possible when a married woman runs off to live with her lover exiled in Libya due to some unspecified spy activity. Sadly, nothing really ever happens except long drawn out descriptions of minutia written in a beautiful, deeply detailed language but sometimes (I feel) meant to make the reader feel like a idiot, running to the dictionary or google to look up deliberately difficult words and references. Rather a snore, all in all.
