by Hugh Walpole
Rating: ****
A lovely novel; some beautifully profound but accessible writing. The characters, especially Janet, were incredibly well-rounded. I found it completely absorbing. The only weak areas were, for me, the opening chapter, I found the dynamic with Rosalind and Janet a bit overdone and the character of Rosalind throughout never quite took off or, got the comeuppance she so richly deserved.
