I started this book last week while I had a cold, but then I suddenly got all better, and found it rather a chore to finish this book.
It’s not that it’s bad on sentence by sentence basis, but Babson here really goes for a P. G. Wodehouse-style farce, but also featuring cats, several dentists and two murders. It also feels oddly claustrophobic, as if this was originally intended to be a play.
She piles it on, but it doesn’t really help — it ends up being oddly static while being total chaos. I think I would have liked it a lot more if I still had a fever.
In the Teeth of Adversity (1990) by Marian Babson (buy used, 3.51 on Goodreads)
