Title: Not exactly a Nobel Prize winner
Review: While the author does well at writing descriptive prose regarding the details of furniture and antiques, he does not fare as well with characters. Many plot points are disjointed, and some are incomplete. The reader is made to feel quite distant from the story and often wonders if there will be more to it eventually, but there never is. The writing is simple, and could benefit from a going over by a professional editor. The descriptions of people and things are vague; one wonders what makes something "most beautiful". Better descriptions of what the author is trying to convey would benefit the reader greatly.Great works of literature require development and refining, which this work does not seem to have. The author would do best to keep this in mind for future manuscripts.
