2.0
This was hard work, five hundred odd pages of very frustrating, mildly irritating characters doing nothing much of interest leading to a damp squib of a denouement.
Luckily I've read enough L.P. Hartley now for this to be considered an dip in form rather than the usual excellent stuff he produced. If this had been my first of his books I never would have got round to reading The Go-Between or the Eustace and Hilda trilogy and then I really would have missed out.
