3.0

If you are not absolutely enamored of the English language and its history…perhaps choose something else. This novel has a ponderous and plodding plot and is peppered with “side bars” and tangents that only an English major with a speciality in Old English and a nerd girl crush on Chaucer and Shakespeare could possibly enjoy.   I enjoyed it. I doubt it will sell well.
