Cleopatra and Frankenstein

Probably a 3.5 rather than a full 4 but 3 seems cruel as I did really enjoy reading this. But already it's slipping away and I doubt any of these stories will stay with me. I wasn't enamoured, endeared, engaged or invested in anyone. Generally they were quite an unlikable bunch except for Eleanor and her mum, who were sweet. The writing was good enough, there were smatterings of almost poetry and some lovely language (but also some rather hideous imagery).
