I'm still plugging away at A Gate at the Stairs, but it's getting increasingly more difficult. I've been fast-forwarding a lot through description that seems uninteresting and that I would describe as filler, although I don't think the writer had intended it to be filler. Maybe her audience is someone other than me. Must a "coming-of-age" story be for young people only? Urban twenty-somethings only?
There are a couple of plot threads started that seem to have been dropped--such as her boyfriend's actual nationality and goals. But they may end up being important later. But getting to that later is getting more and more tedious.
Ah, well. Remind me to read no more of Ms. Moore's books!
