I enjoyed this well enough for what it was - what it wasn't, however, makes me glad that I'm finished with it.
The first half or so dragged - Mary struck me as entirely incapable of thought or reflection and mostly void of personality. It was only when we reached her dramatic exit from drama school that she began to show some character. Not quite enough for me. But some.
The story did pick up a bit as Mary got older, and the humor didn't hurt, when it cropped up. The ending was nearly perfect though.
This is the second book Persephone published, and the eleventh that I've read.
