A review by erindillman
Lampedusa by Steven Price

dnf at 60% -- I want to stress that this wasn't the book's fault, it seems as though many of it's readers fall in love with the setting and the writing and the heartache it leaves. For me, even having read The Leopard to prepare myself, I often felt disengaged and like I was lagging behind the story itself. I felt more like I was paying attention to the descriptions of place, and then like a child I would be told to keep up with the story, missing important details and emotions that might have connected me to the story along the way. Steven Price is a powerful writer, it just wasn't a story for me.
