Review title: Tepid
Product review: I've been a Joanna Trollope fan for years but this book simply doesn't work. Nearly every character, and certainly all the main ones, are so hesitant, so held-in-check by their fears, that I just got impatient with them. I see NO spark of love between Gillon and Henry, we're never let into their attraction for each other, so I'm never terribly concerned with what happens to them. Seriously, Henry seems much more in love with Charleston than with Gillon.I found it reassuring to see that so many other readers had the same reaction. Ms. Trollope's writing is usually so good that I thought I'd missed something, but I think there's just not really a lot of something there. She seems to have written the book while wrapped in cotton wool.I hope for better next time. I know she is very capable of better. "Marrying the Mistress" just about drove me crazy at times, but it was real and alive in a way that "Girl From the South" is not.
