Title: Mrs. A and the time machine
Review: I am surprised by the unflagging praise for this book. Although the language and description is well-crafted, I found the character of Una, and references from her point of view, jarringly twentieth-century. I refer not to her spirit, adventurousness, and desire to follow a different drummer, but to her "modern" political correctness in all things, admiration of the "athletic" (did they have aerobics during whaling days?), and lack of an 1800's viewpoint in any discernable way.
Is the review positive or negative?
