A Stopover In Venice by Kathryn Walker

This book was not very good. I finished it, so that’s something. The story had potential but was drowned in nonsensical musings - Walker’s writing style is a strange mixture of pretentious and sincere; you can tell she’s trying her hardest, bless her heart. Also, for some reason she refused to use quotation marks, which I understand is a stylistic choice, but just made it more difficult than it was worth to keep up with what was going on. You never know when the characters are talking, or thinking, or maybe just soliloquizing to thin air. In conclusion: It’s not the worst book I’ve ever read, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
