A review by mazza57
The Dollmaker by Nina Allan
1.0
I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say that this book has no clear storyline. It messes around between a man's journey across devon - his stays in Wade and Exeter are detailed in excruciating detail - His letters from a fellow"doll" fan which originate in some sort of mental asylum and the totally incomprehensible fairy stories of the supposed Ewa Chaplin. I dont know what the author was trying to achieve but all she has managed is a soup of disparate parts.
This is my first and last Nina Allan book. I find it incomprehensible that it has so many good reviews
