A review by traceyyoung
South Riding by Winifred Holtby

sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This was an interesting story centred around a local council in the fictional South Riding. It was easy to read in a plot where not much happened. There were a lot of main characters and at times this was confusing when people were returned to who had not been featured for several chapters. The characters were complex and most characters had good aspects and flaws, which felt a bit much at times but did make me stop and think. Overall it was OK but not amazing.
