A review by wychwoodnz
The Union Quilters by Jennifer Chiaverini
I abandoned this book approximately 1/3 in - I've read plenty of Jennifer Chiaverini's books and love historical fiction, so not getting along with this one was a real surprise to me.
I did work out why though. The third person narrative just plodded along, with very little dialogue or hints at inner monologue. The lack of engagement with the characters and the events happening to them, combined with the pacing, made this a really boring read.
I'm really hoping this isn't something that is in all her books and I just never noticed before, because if so I suspect now I won't be able to un-notice it.
