|
| This is a novel that reads like a reference book. There’s no through line and little or no character development. even if this had been incorrectly labeled as nonfiction, it still wouldn’t work. | |

|
| Solid premise, but ultimately overwrought and overly descriptive. Characters never have a chance to breathe because the book editor keeps on insisting Mason connect everything. The Osgood sisters and the last two chapters save it. | |

quote
“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
