A review by figment
The Excellent Lombards by Jane Hamilton

2.0

The book recounts a smattering of events involving the Lombard family, loosely linked to a theme about future ownership of the family orchard. The premise of the story was intriguing, but I found the execution to be unsatisfying. I never felt more than superficially acquainted with any of the characters, and it seemed to me that too many storylines were left hanging. I wouldn't go so far as to say I disliked the book, but my "it was okay" rating is tepid and I won't be keeping this book.
