A great disappointment. How can a writer who is so witty and concise in Major Pettigrew be so long winded and predictable in her second book? I am afraid she took on too huge a task. Pettigrew was a much smaller tale, with way fewer characters, and it was not a historical novel, either. I hope the next book is smaller in scale, less like Jane Austen and more 2019.
