Beautifully woven, ultimately hollow
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Everyone suffers in this novel, and no one can really say why. I loved the format, and some of the secondary characters (Claudio, Kate, You-Bear) were very appealing, but the main character, Gabriella, was really clueless and shallow and refused to grow up, and somewhere in the middle of the book I lost all empathy with her and just wanted to smack her. Hobhouse is a wonderful writer and tells a beautiful story. I'd just like to care more about her characters.
