Negative Positive
Title: Not enough plot...
Review: I enjoyed THE LONG RAIN, and decided to read Gadol's earlier novel. While the concept of the story is interesting, it is ultimately unsatisfying. There is too much description of "woods" and house-building techniques and not enough plot.I don't feel as though I ever got a handle on Helen.Though THE LONG RAIN is flawed by too much description (this time it's wine-making), the story and characters are better-developed.
Is the review positive or negative?
