Title: Rambling, dense and intellectual
Product review: Margaret Drabble is most definetly a very intelligent woman but I totally agree that her personal stake in this material was too deep and the reader is often left adrift. The historical details of early 20th century england is fascinating as well as the main charachter's descent into the negative oppressive options of menopause. I was bored and lost with the material, the DNA business, the archeaological digression and the author's idolization of Faro (sorry I didn't feel that way about this charachter - why should the writer impose this patronization?) Its a good lesson to would be writers: mind your audience or beware.
