Viper Wine by Hermione Eyre

2.0

A historical novel set in 17th century England, about real historical figures, shot through with deliberate anachronisms. In the end I liked this more than not, but there are large swathes of this book in which NOTHING IS HAPPENING except for the postmodern pyrotechnics. It would have helped a lot if the author had paid more attention to the plot and pacing, and less to self-conscious bending of the time-space continuum.
