rosadrinkbooks 's review for:
The Light Years
by Elizabeth Jane Howard
Mixed review as I see this as the basis for a good series and have been recommended that it is very good later on.
Pros
I liked Rachel the Aunt who is the main brains behind the family and is by the far the wittiest. She is an a gay relationship but like that this isn’t the main fracture of her story.
There was also an equate amount of scandal which is worth a book of this size.
Cons
The plot was good however, this was deviated by random monologues on random characters who did not contribute much. I understand there was a need to have a slight downton abbey theme but don’t think that she made the servants characters interesting on a way that they could be.
I also think that some of the children’s characters such as Louise and Clary needed development as they seemed too similar in personality.
