helloemma 's review for:
The Victorian Chaise Longue
by Marghanita Laski
Wonderfully written, but a very odd book indeed. I'm not even sure what to say about it, since finishing it ten minutes ago I've just sat here thinking 'what the hell was that'...
It was a good read (not brilliant, but good) but I wish it had expanded on a lot of things it touched on. I found myself wanting to know more of Melly's life in her present, more of Milly's life and her relationships with the other characters and I really wished that the implied, touched upon feminism was more of a prominent theme.
Anyway, this book is the first one I've read in around a year that hasn't been on my Kindle and how difficult it was to find combined with the lack of cover and mysterious 'lost classic' status definitely added to my enjoyment of this...not sure if that's shallow of me
