A review by fantine729
Belchamber by Howard Sturgis

3.0

Interesting read for the depictions of British gentry in the early 20th century, but the characters, while vivid enough, were kind of flat and the book never really went anywhere, though there were plenty of opportunities for it to do so. Sturgis seemed to stand on the precipice of a climax, but then would shy away, so there was never any resulting denouement. The ending was also rather lackluster, despite my being unable to put the book down for the preceding 50 or so pages; it just abruptly (and most unsatisfactorily) defervesced.
