Precious Bane by Mary Webb
2.0
Nope, not for me. My book club chose this book, and it sounded so intriguing, and so while I tried I just can't do it. The dialogue and dialect is painful to read, pulling me out and making things that could be very interesting and intriguing a chore to read and just mad boring.
I'm bummed because it has such a high rating and I read a plot synopsis and some analysis of the book and it sounds like it really is a tale to make one think, but just the way it's delivered really puts what it's saying out of my mind and instead while trying to read it I was easily irritated at the simple dialogue and text. Too much to enjoy or get into what I was reading.
