A review by bbboeken
Free Love by Tessa Hadley

2.0

From the blurb this sounded interesting --or else I wouldn't have bought the book to begin with: "one woman's sexual and intellectual awakening in 1960s London". There isn't much of the latter though. The story comes across as tedious and dull, and the plot is really contrived and seems to have gotten its inspiration from an improbable soap or telenovela. It's really just a woman having a midlife crisis, rather than an(y) awakening.
This was my first Hadley, and I won't be reaching for another one anytime soon I'm afraid.
