The Solitary House by Lynn Shepherd

3.0

This could have been a really intriguing take on Bleak House by Charles Dickens if it wasn't for the author's heavy handed omniscient story telling. It just really took me out of the story every time the narrative turned back to the main story. Hester's diary and the scenic descriptions were quite good. I should have read this immediately after Bleak House when I read it a couple of years ago but didn't, so I missed all the nods to the original.
