A review by katherinejayne
Melmoth by Sarah Perry
2.0
2.5.
After reading ‘Essex Serpent’ I was expecting to enjoy this book more. I found both to have slow starts, and whilst ES picked up pace and became intriguing, this became a challenge to finish.
The jumping around between characters and narratives didn’t appeal to me personally. None of the characters were interesting or particularly engaging and even Melmoth didn’t hold much appeal.
An alright read.
