Good sunloubger material. Romance in France, stalked from Dublin.

Dated but ok sunlounger material, if you ignore the inaccurate Cornishisms.

Fascinating, decadent, abandonment, Africa, colonialism, liberation.

Sad, literal, painful - how we hurt people through love, loss and not saying.

Lacks atmosophere but engaging and interesting idea. Simple characterisation.

Deeply sad~the unsaid and the misunderstood. Threads of narrative join at end.

Historical tale interwoven with traumatic personal story. Relatively speaking.

Poetry of the outsider. A haunting story about mother/daughters and marriage.

Get through the first third & it's a great Victoriana temptation/morality epic
