Oscar and Lucinda
by Peter Carey
by Peter Carey
A real struggle. It starts well, with an atmospheric setting and well-drawn characters, but once all that's been established, pretty much nothing happens for 200-300 pages, apart from a lot of repetition and digression. And the rushed climax features several bizarre and, frankly, ridiculous plot twists.
