3.0

If you are looking for a book with a strong plot, keep looking! Nothing much happens as Douglas follows the lives of several people who visit Nepenthe for the summer. 

There are a lot of good descriptions and lively commentary which kept the book going for me. It kind of felt like it was stretching to be a Vanity Fair but never quite as saucy.
