A review by readinginfinland
Ashenden by Elizabeth Wilhide

3.0

I did enjoy this book - it’s beautifully written. The only thing I found confusing was all the different time periods and people. I had to skip back to the start of the chapter to remember which year it was and how many years after the previous chapter.
The connective threads throughout were a little tangled. The idea of the house as the central connector was good but the execution of it was a little confusing.
I found myself wanting to know more of the people’s lives in each time period - which is positive! But of course I never got to know because it continued to the next stage.
