A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear

Did not finish book.

This just wasn't for me, even though the description seemed like it would be something I'd love. I found my mind wandering a lot when I read it and never became fully engaged. Had to stop reading. It's my policy that life is too short, and there are too many good books out there, to spend time on one that's just not fulfilling its promise, at least for me, personally. I gave it more than my usual chance --- 150 pages in, vs. my usual rule of "if it doesn't engage me in 50 pages, I can put it aside." I really wanted to like it.
