An aloof narrative style doesn't appeal to me as I know it will make me feel disconnected with the characters.Trish @ Between My Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517849083417759188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-69063070704196457602014-11-17T17:56:02.157-08:002014-11-17T17:56:02.157-08:00I've heard of this book forever, but it sounds...I've heard of this book forever, but it sounds like the best thing about it is the title!

It's good to know you liked other Muriel Spark books better; I have not moved on to any others after not enjoying the Prime.
