A review by the_devotress
Indiana by George Sand
1.0
My main issue with this book is that I had to read it at all.
The Oxford World Classics edition takes great pains to point out that this was Sand's first novel without a collaborator, and it pains me to say: I can tell. The prose here is fine, but I can only stand so much wordcount devoted to completely frivolous detail before I want to DNF. (the fantasy genre being exempt, of course. love that shit)
and... I take so much issue with the ending. I do not care to recount or analyse, but no. I simply don't want to read this kind of content, and I certainly don't appreciate my university's comparative literature course throwing me into this kind of content without warning.
this novel might actually harbour the secrets of the universe or something, but I simply do not care. it wore me down.
