willowfae 's review for:

The Bolter by Frances Osborne
2.0

Oh dear. I really wanted to like this and I do think that it could have been very good. But the detail. Oh it was excruciating! Yes, research is great when you are writing a biography but I felt that the author needed to be selective as to what she included.

I felt absolutely NO connection to Idina (in fact she only became real in the Afterword) and I really didn't care what happened to her.

I probably wouldn't have finished this if it hadn't been for a book group.
