This was a 3+, or a 4-….but I’ll have to settle for 3. :)

Well, it got better in the third part. At least the story became a bit more interesting. But the writing was problematic and the editing of the version I read was atrocious. There was not a single character I liked. Not one. And I utterly loathed Stanley. Everyone in the novel was pathetic and unhappy. It was a depressing story.

I could tell why this book won a Pulitzer. It tackles themes that I suspect were rarely covered in 1942. But the writing was so bad, so wordy, that – with the exception of a few beats – I had trouble getting into it.
