3.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful, but tedious at the end,
By seraphcelene (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lost Daughter of Happiness : A Novel (Hardcover)
This is beautiful and atmospheric, although towards the end the entire thing starts to grind down. Too much of a good thing, I guess. The narrative is a mix of second and third person limited, illuminating three characters over the course of years. Two men bound by their obsession over one woman. A enigmatic girl that no one, not even the author, can crack. I think it's that mystery that wears after a while. Because the author gives very little away about her, her appeal ultimately dissolves. The charm wears thin. It is however, an interesting commentary on a culture and a historical period.
