A review by trudy1963
Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson

3.0

I liked this book but it was lacking. There were a lot of characters that I found well developed for the depth of this story but unfortunately, there wasn't much depth to the story. While I liked the characters, I wasn't invested in any of their storylines. It didn't matter to me which character thrived or didn't thrive. This book was like looking at a snapshot of a certain period in history (which I did find the historical aspect interesting) without going deeper into anything in the picture because there's too much in the picture. But again, I do think the characters were well done for what they were and someone clever could develop this ensemble into a good tv show.
