A review by tats_the_reading_expat
History of a Pleasure Seeker by Richard Mason

2.0

I picked up this book as it is set in Amsterdam and there is a hotelier. And I always like a bit of historical fiction. It was a good read but somehow I am not convinced. I think the choice to have each chapter told with a focus on a different character, gives a good all-round understanding of the plot but does not give a deep understanding of the main character's motivation... while it was certainly an interesting story, I felt it was lacking too much to be recommended
