Mrs. Adams In Winter : A Journey In The Last Days Of Napoleon
by Michael O'Brien

I didn't get very far with this book. The preface was interesting, but the first chapter ground me to a halt, more specifically with the first sentence.
"She was in a hurry, because anxious." I find this truly appalling. If the book starts out with missing words, how many more will not be there?
Furthermore, what I did read was just not interesting enough to keep my attention. It was, actually, downright boring.
