Helpful Score: 1
A dreadful, one-note, mishmash which appears to be collected scraps she wrote while stranded in a back bathroom. Lucy Barton was raised in a rural, low-income, non-intellectual family, thus she can only communicate in two-syllable words at most and short sentences. Lots of very short. Sentences. On and On. Her troubled relationship with her mother (also a short sentence gal) is not explored but hinted at - because you know lower class people are very subtle. This is one of the most pretentious pieces of scribble I've encountered.
