The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild
3.0
Ultimately, this book just reminded me of the Rococo art that is one of the main plot points. It tried to cover some grand and important themes, but the language and writing style were just too silly, frilly, overly detailed, and insipid. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be satire, so it is possible that my opinion of the book is so gloomy because I was trying to read it like a real novel.
The Improbability of Love was not unpleasant to read, but neither was it truly enjoyable. On the rare occasions when the author actually established a character and provided insight into their emotions, the book started to get good. However, each time she introduced a new character or a new setting, the writing was once again bogged down with overwrought and slightly nonsensical descriptions. Unfortunately, new characters and new settings were introduced every few pages.
