From: tolstoy Category: Books Date: 22 November 2006 Time: 07:00 AM Review: big novel all told in conversations. seems like a phoney try at russian masterpiece. or ironic. little flashes of brilliance, and then pages of heavy handed semi-philosophical dialogues. wooden. sort of readable. heroine is teenage girl which makes a change. rebecca west had love child with hg wells. funny old musty time, who cares about hg wells anymore?
