A review by blueshadow
Demelza by Winston Graham
3.0
So many things to love... vivid descriptions, believable characters, accurate portrayal of multiple levels of pre-Regency society. Very excellent writing. No real surprises in this book, because writing tone and foreshadowing make it clear when something bad is going to happen.
Or perhaps it is because, ultimately, nothing good ever happens in these books. Angst. Drama. Sense of impending doom. I went ahead and read the brief description for the next couple books in the series, and I see the series becomes even more like a soap opera. Not for me.
