Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor

uutopicaa's review against another edition

3.5/5

Meh.

Es un buen libro en cuanto a calidad narrativa, expresiva y emotiva. Pero no era para mí. La verdad es que me cuesta muchísimo leer autores británicos en su idioma original. Y no porque no entienda (soy bilingüe), sino porque no me agrada su forma de expresarse.

Capaz traducido me habría gustado más.

En ningún momento me enganché ni sentí nada por los personajes. Casi que me obligué a continuar en busca de ese "algo" que a otros lectores les ha gustado de la versión en español de la historia.

Tiene buenos mensajes. Buenas frases. Escenas reflexivas y más. Pero lo sentí, al mismo tiempo, vacío y falto de espíritu o de trama. De objetivo.

Mrs Palfrey unpacking is one of the saddest passages I've ever read and it just never lets up from there

Some of the emotions you experience don't really change over a lifetime, except maybe in intensity but even then
