It's been a while since I genuinely considered stopping reading a book. I felt like it was fairly poor young adult novel or maybe chick lit and was very disappointed - I thought I'd enjoy it as I usually like historical fiction but this was uninteresting and trivial. Not that long a book but it dragged. Should have done a bit more research before buying it! Muriel a thoroughly uninteresting character. Barbara and Miss Chapman the only ones I didn't despise. ( )
