Sedition by Katharine Grant

3.0

I would never have read Sedition if it weren't on the Desmond Elliott longlist - it just didn't sound my kind of thing. And now I've read it, I'm not sure what sort of a thing it is. It's not a satire, or a farce as it's just not funny and it's definitely not sexy. I'm the last person who would say that a novel should be instantly classifiable, and I usually enjoy something a bit different, but this is just decidedly odd. There are too many similar characters - with five sets of businessmen, wives and daughters, the main characters aside I found it impossible to keep track of who was who. Then there is the plot which is nothing short of ludicrous.
In summary, I didn't dislike it as much as I expected to, but I didn't think it was anything special either. At least I am vindicated in that if I think a book isn't for me, I'm probably right.
