A review by manogirl
The Excellent Lombards by Jane Hamilton

2.0

This is an episodic, coming-of-age novel. If that sounds like hell to you, you're probably right to avoid it.

That said, I didn't find it hellish, just sort of...incomplete. Boring. Also, there was absolutely NOT an ending, and I don't even really understand if the main character actually did come-of-age. Maybe?

I don't know, my instinct is to tell you to skip it.
