Still Life / A Fatal Grace / The Cruelest Month

The writing was absolutely terrible. It's frankly baffling to me that this book is so beloved and has won several awards. I would have loved to get to know small-town Quebec, but alas, it's not meant to be with me and this author... just goes to show how different people can have such different relationships to authors. If you sort by one and two-start reviews, people with more patience than me have given good examples of what was off about the writing.
