I loved this story of women in the world of books in post-war London. A blast. Great audiobook!

I realize I’m in the minority of reviewers here. I wasn’t a fan of the first book but I didn’t know it was the same author until further in the book. I guess I don’t like this style of hodge podge writing. I felt a lack of storytelling and a wish to be writing a who’s who dictionary of notable literary giants. Even though the ending was well done and worth the struggle, the theme is thrown in the reader’s face a million times. Yes, women are slighted. Yes, there’s sexism. Again and again. Yes.

This book was a very slow read for me. It didn't have a lot of the things I look for in a book. I want romance with closure of some sort. I want a good plot, this was just blah. Basically I was left wanting a lot more than what I got!
