A review by tmickey
The Mother's Recompense by Edith Wharton

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
The subject matter just was not something I cared about. It also was very slow for such a short book, within those 87 pages I could already see several things that could have been cut out. Usually I don’t mind slow books, but the stick that broke the camel’s back was the fact that I was completely apathetic towards the characters. They just prompted 0 emotions from me (positive or negative). Ultimately a slump was sneaking in with this one, so I decided to call it quits for now. May return in the future.
