Title: You've got to be more patient than I
Product review: I was intrigued by the setting and the good reviews but I agree with the reader who was put off by the slow plot development and large number of characters I wasn't very interested in. Everybody seemed to suffer from some nonspecific malaise, and I just didn't have the stamina to stick around and figure out what was getting everyone down -- I tried to stick with it but other books beckoned.I have to admit that, despite being a huge Henry James and Jane Austen fan, I am not a huge Cheever or Updike fan. So maybe it's me.
