The Tenth Muse by Catherine Chung

3.0

Loved it... until one character abruptly decided to spill buckets and buckets of backstory (their own and others') in a blatant example of "tell" over "show."

So a novel that began as a compelling and period-specific character study was suddenly graffitied over with Secrets! Lies! and Dramatic Reveals!

Fun for some, but not my cup of tea.
