Book-Review:…The-Adulteress

The Adulteress was my second Noelle Harrison read.  After reading girl across the sea, also by Harrison, I was expecting an entertaining read.

However, I knew things were going south during the prologue which I feel must have been the longest I have ever read, and which did nothing for the book in my opinion.  I found it so waffly that I nearly put the book down as a bad joke about halfway through the prologue before I commenced reading chapter one.

I was very disappointed with the writing and storyline and the long-winded descriptive narratives.  In fact, on reflection, I think it could have cut The Adulteress back to a short story.

In short, The Adulteress is about a family (two sisters) and their wants, needs and woes, as children, married teens and as adults.  And whether it was a want, need or woe, it was described in great detail.  Often so much detail that I found it easy to forget exactly what the topic was at beginning of the chapter.

 

I rated

The Adulteress

as a Two-Star read

simply because I finished the book.
