I’m not sure what else to say other than the fact that, even though Taylor wrote one of my favourite books last year (Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont), A View of the Harbour just did not work for me. It’s mostly about a group of people living in a small seaside town who have nothing better to do other than sticking their noses into each other’s lives. They also spend half the time feeling lonely and miserable about themselves. Other than that, nothing much happens in this book. It’s just a tough slog and I was mostly bored out of my mind.

It has a beautiful cover artwork though, so there’s that?
