I was excited to pick this book up, since I enjoyed the authors first novel quite a bit, and I was hoping it would be as rewarding a book as The Historian. After reading it, I can say I have mixed feelings, so Ill hit my least favorite pieces first.
This is a slow, methodical, and somewhat plodding book at times. Were presented with the idea of Marlow trying to get to the bottom of Olivers illness, but to me it was apparent rather quickly that the illness is just a plot device for Marlow to finally find himself. And all his extra focus into Olivers illness, rather than treating him like the other patients or spending as much time on them, really got to me.
