      Chapter 3 is a big improvement. We even have a character with the same name as the book, now. But surely he can't be our protagonist? He' old, and obnoxious. No, there's also a grandson with the same name: surely he will be our protagonist, if he ever shows up.
The social awkwardness caused by the mysterious relationship between Martin snr and his mysterious girl companion is interesting.

      Chapter 2 starts with three pages of weather and scenery.
 
Not loving it, so far. Also, this old Oxford classics edition from the early 1990s saves paper by using a thin, small font, which doesn't help.

      An unpropitious beginning. All about our presumed hero's (according to the title) ancestors, full of obscure ironies based on forgotten history and unheard proverbs.
