I was eagerly anticipating this book, having loved Diane Setterfield's previous book, The Thirteenth Tale so much. I found this book, however, very disappointing. The story felt almost perfunctory, as if Setterfield was writing simply to put something on the page. The characters were hollow and boring, with little personality, and the story, of which there was very little, simply sat. It felt more akin to reading an extended, dry summary of events than a story.
