A quick summary:
Edward Ashburnham is married to Leonora, but has several affairs,
including an affair with the narrator’s wife, Florence. The book is mostly about the Ashburnhams and
their relationship with each other and with others.
When I finished this book I didn’t really know what to
think. I liked it in the sense that it
sucked you in – once I started reading I had difficulty putting the book
down. But somehow I didn’t like the
story itself that much. And it didn’t
help that the narrator kept going back and forth in time, so I sometimes had
difficulty remembering the order in which things happened. Finally, I didn’t identify with any of the
characters, not even the narrator.
Although I have mixed feelings about this book, I’m very
glad I read it.
