Ferney by James Long
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
DNF on page 223/554.
I just couldn't get on with these characters at all. I didn't remotely believe in the love story and felt so so sorry for Gally's husband. I didn't connect with why Gally and Ferney were even in love, 'meant to be' etc. other than this inexplicable 'pull' they kept indirectly referring to - it was never explained or expanded on and so I was left feeling like the very decent husband who put a lot of time and effort into his and Gally's relationship was just left out in the cold, through no fault of his own and thanks to two characters who were really quite cruel.
Not my cup of tea at all unfortunately.
