Nella Larsen wrote beautifully. However, I couldn't wait for this book to end. I just didn't find any of the characters likeable or interesting, especially Irene- from whose tedious viewpoint the book is written. Perhaps I would've liked it better had I gotten to know what Clare, or Brian were thinking...I found myself frustratingly curious about Brian. That said, Ms Larsen was indeed a gifted writer.
