The Heavenly Twins by Sarah Grand
3.0
Fascinating as a piece of historical interest. I kept writing quote after quote in a notebook.
As a novel, a bit all over the place, a bit heavy handed in places, a bit baffling in others. You spend half the time going, yes, we understand your point, stop laying it on so thick. Then you get big sections where you are not sure what the point is at all. Grand should have been allowed in parliament, then she wouldn't have had to try to write a novel. She clearly was an excellent speech writer.
