The Book of Salt
Author: Monique Truong
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback

Excrutiating read. Excessively flowery prose, poor and unfair character descriptions of Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, and a flat main character (verbose writing does not mask lacking character development). The book has little direction and no point.
