Strangely I find everything written in the past to be so sumptuous that when I am forced to read the story of the character in the most current time I feel a bit annoyed, like it's a disruption from the rest of the main story.
I look forward to seeing how it all comes together at the end however currently I can't help but feel the character of Alice set in 2019 is irritating.

It is definitely dripping with atmosphere so that earns a star.
Really where it falls down for me is the first person narrative for this particular story and the pacing is a bit all over the place.
OK so I was very excited to start this... I know my bible very well and the title did capture my attention.
I didn't know what to expect but sadly it isn't quite hitting me as a major or minor story worth coming back to.
