The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
2.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Very much Kate Morton's signature style but the story for this one felt much less richly realised than others. It didn't need to be as long as it was and felt like it was stretched out unnecessarily. I also didn't like a lot of the characters in this one so felt much less invested in the story.
