Tedious drivel

The Distant Hours by Kate Morton

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


If you like Henry James this may be for you. I found it overlong, lacking narrative and tedious in the extreme. Absolutely nothing happens from beginning to end and the characters are passive shadows. I have no idea why or how I struggled to the end. I suppose I hoped it might have a point or a discernable ending, but no. It doesn't. Anyway, as I said, if you like Henry James, this may be your type of book, if not, steer well clear.
