This was the next book club read and when I realised the length of this I was already reluctant to enjoy this book.
When I started reading it, I quickly found the prose much too wordy for my enjoyment and resolved I would listen along instead.
The audiobook was great- it made the text seem manageable and clear in a way that wasn’t when I read it. The plot was intriguing and romantic.
John Ridd was an interesting narrator and despite some of the things he said I found myself warming to him.
