Ah, I'm too harsh a critic because it's the only fun I have these days (critizing, that is!)
There are few authors I get excited about but Atkinson is definitely one of them. I guess I'm not a romance kind of reader, either, like Clod said. I prefer horrid circumstances, abuse, murders, tragic landscapes, haunted houses, the emotionally destryoed, the drug addled, the incarcerated, the tortured soul and the curiously suspect. I'm really just a Poe girl at heart. ![]() FWIW I read the Bridges of Madison County when it was first popular and laughed my fool head off - I thought it was the dumbest book ever.
