The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
Maybe because I was listeing to the audiobook version but the very,very long descriptive and overwritten parts were losing me. I would be losing interest and come back and be thinking,"Wait, is this still talking about what her dress looks like or are we onto something else?"
I got the impression that Lucretia is coded as autistic or Very Big Time ADHD (an official spectrum of ADHD) and that was interesting to me but at the same time I just did not care enough about her. Which is sad because we know she's in danger and that she's going to be unalived by this husband of hers.
Is there a cat? Big ones. Lucretia's father has a menagerie with lions and a shortlived tiger.
