horsley123 's review for:
The Eights
by Joanna Miller
slow-paced
I did so want to like this book - my granny was one of the Oxford pioneers, but it is so slow. I just could not get into it. There were so many stereotypes - the hearty women with their big shoes, not caring what they looked like and a downtrodden vicar's daughter. I am afraid I threw in the towel when 'Otto' - so brave, so strong etc - starting saying she would never complain about her menses again. Really? I feel that if this flummery had been cut and the plot had started sooner I may have enjoyed it as so many other reviews are more positive than mine.
