A review by michael5000
Eight Months on Ghazzah Street by Mantel, Hilary Mantel

3.0

This often gets described as "gripping," but I wasn't gripped. I was interested, but not gripped.

I've seen the ending praised as being especially amazing. Whereas, I rather felt it that it kind of petered out in the same register of frustrated ennui that it sustained all the way through.
