Cunning Women

I thought the descriptive writing in this was really good, the characters were well drawn but ultimately I was disappointed by the issues with the pace and the emotional impact of parts of the plot on the characters and the readers. I found this was a very slow burn with what should have been some quite emotional events packed into the end in a way that felt rushed to me. I wasn't that convinced by the conclusion either, and felt that maybe I would have preferred the author to be braver.
