Unfinished Portrait by Mary Westmacott, Agatha Christie
2.0
Unfinished Portrait follows a woman named Celia from childhood to her late 30s, and apparently it's a good reflection of Agatha Christie herself. I definitely prefer her crime/mystery novels since they have a stronger plot, but this wasn't bad for a slower book outside of her normal genre.
The blatant racism (multiple n-words and all) was jarring. I guess that's to be expected in a book written by a wealthy white English woman in the 1930s, but it still feels gross to read.
