Restoration by Rose Tremain

1.0

Seems more to me that it's about the damage of falling in love with the wrong person, rather than the dangers of excess, but I'm not enjoying it at all and have missed big chunks out of it (skipped from roughly pg 50 to 100, read a couple of chapters then skipped several more then did that again) so it's fair to say that I may be wrong. It's the first book I can recall that I've skipped pages of (other than to avoid a violent scene or similar) but I feel guilty for missing several book club books so really want to finish it, I've read that at the end he becomes a better person so hopefully the end is better than the beginning.

... So glad I didn't finish this. The descriptions given at book club weren't encouraging. there needs to be a 'didn't finish' option in the set shelves.
