A review by ekurt1
Pure by Andrew Miller
2.0
The only reason that I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is I'm on a good day and I don't want to be meanly subjective. If you like novels about life of the common people in the 18th century in France this might be book for you. Definitely "gripping" then, as declared on the cover. Turns out it is my least favorite thing to read about. Give me the snippy, saucy, good for nothing aristocrats, the life in the palaces and the castles, the abundance and the decadence if I am to read about the past.
One thing though, so many unknown vocabulary in this book. Miller is not sparing with embellished language. It would have been good GRE practice if I looked them up.
