Title: Embarrassing hack-work
Review: Please, Willa. You can do better than this. From a confused narrator schizophrenically shifting viewpoint and offering information that would be unknown to a young woman in Moonstone, to the painfully obvious scheme of two men pursuing this narcissistic "artist" yet initially held back by oppressive wives, this novel symbolizes eight hours of my life that I shall never recover. It's redeeming value can be seen in this highly formulaic bildungs roman in the fact that a character, not just a stereotype of a female breaking into the artworld, emerges.
Is the review positive or negative?
