Helpful Score: 1
While all the descriptive text in the book is lyrical and absorbing, I found the plot somewhat dull and plodding. The writing is gorgeous but it did not take me anywhere. There is a good story here but you rather have to plough through it. Disappointing ending. From reviews I had read, I was expecting so much more.
