But I was so glad I did because the sections dealing with her adolescence and subsequent disgrace were gripping. But I tend to agree with you that the middle section gets a bit tedious. After the gothic drama of grandfather's disgrace and then the drama of Sage's own loss of innocence, she's struggling to find her way. But I think the tedium reflects her experiences of the time. I enjoyed reading her daughter's piece at the end too (in the Stranger than Fiction edition).Petehttp://couchtrip.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
