** spoiler alert ** I really wanted to love this book, but it never quite captivated me the way I hoped. I feel like Anthony Quinn wanted to tell a story of the modern woman, but lost his way. The book is split into 3 parts, and, honestly, two parts could have been more than sufficient. The whole second part was a bit of a snooze fest and it was only when I reached Book 3 that I felt the story picking up a little. Quinn teases multiple story lines and themes - Oxford, Nuremberg trials, Florence, debauchery, pregnancy, bisexuality, death - but to me none of these storylines ever resolve themselves, and the "villains" never get their "comeuppance." Maybe that's the point. Regardless, I like it when endings feel a bit more resolved.

Lenka Should I read it? I really can't force myself to get through another boring book.


Holly Hard to say. Looks like some others in the group enjoyed it, but I'm not seeing any 5 stars tho.
