Dusty Answer by Rosamond Lehmann

2.0

maybe it's just the pandemic talking, but I just could not get into this story about bitchy rich beautiful people with no apparent inner lives and all the time, money, and privilege in the world. None of the characters really seemed like characters, and I had no understanding at all why Judith was so fascinated by the cousins. I wanted to like it so much, especially because there were definitely some interesting parts to it -- Judith's attraction to both men and women, for example, and the really nonchalant attitude toward same-sex love (at least in the beginning). And the prose was very beautiful. But I just couldn't listen to them being upset over nothing anymore, so I couldn't finish it.
