The Lieutenant
by Kate Grenville
Could do better(8/15/2011)
The ingredients were here for a truly great novel. And I enjoyed the story and found myself caring about the main characters and the dilemma that faced them. But it felt to me that the writer was in a hurry...in fact it felt like the script for a film where everything is …more fitted into a 90 minute slot. How much better the story would have been with some space and time for development.(less)
