Un sogno inquietante

Londra, 1872

Un sogno inquietante turba i sonni di Elizabeth Burbridge, giovane insegnante di un collegio inglese per fanciulle di buona società. Ogni notte, un affascinante sconosciuto si materializza al suo fianco, facendola oggetto di erotiche, sensuali attenzioni. Inutile descrivere lo stupore di Elizabeth quando scopre che il suo sconosciuto corteggiatore assomiglia come una goccia d’acqua a Lord Alec Sinclair, padre di una delle sue allieve, nella cui casa è stata invitata a trascorrere il Natale. Alec ha tutti i difetti che Elizabeth condanna in un uomo. È divorziato, spregiudicato, anticonformista, estroverso, permissivo con la figlia. Ma assai attraente…

DNF, pg 40-something. There's nothing really wrong with this book, per se. The grammar is competent, the writing is descriptive, there's a (silly HQN-style) plot in the background...but I don't like this author's style.

The heroine is a prim little fussbudget without personality -- she doesn't even have a bitchy attitude or sense of humor, & her persistence in disliking/not understanding/being terrified of her "feminine attributes" annoyed me like woah. (40 pages & I was already sick of hearing about her ginormous boobs & what a bother they were. FFS.) Her every thought & dialogue simply screamed "placeholder romance heroine." Likewise, the hero was a cliched Romance Dude without anything to set him apart from the usual muscled man-candy -- genre heroes like Drew in Lord Libertine or Ian in The Dark Lady put him to shame.

...And don't get me started on the witty banter. I loathe witty banter. STFU & have a normal conversation, dammit.

YAWN.

On the positive side, I liked that the heroine (whose name I already forget...good lord) was tall & wore spectacles. That's always nice. Too bad she was such a bore.

Posso con tranquillità affermare che tra me e Kit non c’è feeling. Già la trama mi interessava poco… aggiungendo lo stile soporifero dell’autrice e la vetustà del romanzo, il risultato è una bella chiusura del volume e un veleggiare altrove. Insulso.
