A review by louloureadsbooks
The Golden Key by Marian Womack
Did not finish book.
Dnf.
I had high hopes for this book as I'm a sucker for fairy tale/fairy tale esque and the title, but I'm done at about a third through. The story seems all over the place and hinting at things and yet more things, all vague. Lots of imagery, is that what I mean? Maybe.
There seems to be a strong current of how hard Victorian life could be for women and environmental concerns (if the constant reference to the missing tern is anything to go by). I don't dispute either of these things but I'm not interested in it either.
The ruined Tudor house and all the hints (that word again) surrounding it is intriguing but not enough to keep me going.
I'm done.
