3.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but appalling Kindle edition!, February 21, 2012
This is a very good book. Bettina Selby writes eloquently and evocatively, and takes the reader with her on her extraordinary journey.

But the Kindle edition is terrible. The publisher seems to have processed all the pages as illustrations rather than text, which means that they only fill the middle column of the Kindle's screen, I have to press the page turn button twice to turn each page, and the usual Kindle options for words per line and font size do not work. There is an index but this too is presented like an illustration and so is not interactive. This is the kind of thing that would now be unacceptable in a free edition - but the publishers want you to pay for this!

The Kindle edition of this book desperately needs to be reissued with the text properly processed.
