Study for Obedience by Sarah Bernstein
3.0
challenging dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Lovely prose style and moments of real beauty in there. Overall not massively coherent though, and I felt like the slightly vague story didn't do the book too many favours despite that style usually working well for me. A little disappointed as I had high hopes for this, but maybe that's part of why I felt so underwhelmed. Not bad at all, just not enough to get my teeth into.
