I wasn't able to finish this.
I think I read about 25 or 30%, It was good, I wonder what will happen to her. But I lost the thread, or the motivation or I couldn't empathize or something.

never had time to read this, too busy reading the Brothers Karamazov !

I have temporarily lost interest in this woman's future.

This novel became for me less interesting as I read further, realizing how bored the main character is. It's very well written. But being afraid of boredom myself, I resist exploring the psyche of a bored person. But the library hasn't taken it back, I still have it downloaded, so I'll press on.

The index of this book was very useful, I chose a few chapters which were less scholarly than others. I enjoyed her enthusiasm for the format of the novel - and for her observations. Life is in the details of novels and total immersion in them is the aesthetic experience.
I like her respectful comment that 'summarizing' a novel is kind of dismissive.
I could not read the whole book.

I have to know what is going to happen to Miss M.
