A review by caitlin_89
The Mitford Affair by Marie Benedict
Did not finish book.
In the first chapter, Nancy (the WRITER) says "that accounts for all six of my siblings..." But she is ONE of six. Nancy has five siblings. She should have said "that accounts for all five of siblings." or "that accounts for all six of us." This error on the second page made me want to stop, but I kept going.
I got about a quarter of the way in, and I was bored to absolute death. I know historical fiction writers want to get in all the fun facts and details they learned in their research, but the constant explainers on nicknames and social and political name dropping is exhausting as a reader.
DNF. Going back to the library.
