A review by schopflin
Mrs. Ames by E.F. Benson

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

I was hoping to discover a new author, and Benson is clearly clever and able. His depiction of shallow, dull, self-deluding privileged people is masterful But I think you really have to be in the mood to want to spend time with them.
