Title: Stick Pins in My Eyes
Product review: As a huge fan of historical fiction, I looked forward to reading this novel on a twelve hour train trip. Sadly, only the fact that I was stuck on the train kept me reading it. The plot is wildly contrived. Characters are one dimensional and flip-flop on the same page between good and evil. The idioms spoken by the minor characters are laughable.Details are included that make no sense. Émilie, the main character, counts to six hundred forty-seven thousand and sixty-three seconds one day waiting for the maid and her husband to come home. What??? My twelve year old was reading over my shoulder and asked how this could be a real book. I had no answer for her.
