Within the Fetterlock by Brian Wainwright
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. It did a much better job than most of showing things from different points of view. The main character Constance is very easy to root for, and I understood her motivations. But then the point of view changed to someone else who was having difficulties with her, and I understood their perspective too. The characters came to life.
I do wish that the author had given time information. The book often jumped forward in time, and I would have liked to know exactly when I was. I was often not clear on major things like how many years since a really major event.
My other and more minor gripe is that the ending was a bit of a strange way to tie it up to me. The author hadn't done enough to support the feelings of the final perspective that were supposed to make for a poignant ending, but this is minor.
There was a little bit of language and sexual content that I whited out, but there were no lengthy sex scenes as in much historical fiction.
