A review by dreamofbookspines
Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower
3.0
I agree with another reviewer who called this book "laborious". I had trouble keeping characters straight or caring what happened to the heroine. In the beginning she was sympathetic but then it just got sad when she couldn't let go of the guy she was in love with, who was so clearly a shitbag.
The last 20% or so put me strongly in mind if The Red Tent, which would have been great if only this book hadn't been so damn long. I mostly just wanted to strangle the main character; she was whiny and, frankly, an idiot. I find unrequited love stories mainly a snorefest. Those that love that sort of plot would enjoy this sad sack pile of too much book.
