A review by wendoxford
The Dark Flood Rises by Margaret Drabble

2.0

Rather like The Marriage of Figaro - I felt this was the literary parallel.."too many notes". Interesting subject matter about ageing but made rather tedious by containing no dialogue (all reported speech). It was more of a fictional tract than a novel.
Great, well-drawn, nuanced characters is the best I can say about it. Depressing, albeit realistic, backdrop of modern day ageing and what's in store, or worse.
