Review: Dearest Cousin Jane

Dearest Cousin Jane by Jill Pitkeathley
Genre: Historical Fiction
ISBN: 9780061875984

Rating: DNF

Dearest Cousin Jane is not about Jane Austen or a re-write of one of her novels, but rather about her extended family. It sounded interesting. If I'd gotten to the halfway mark, I may have found it interesting. However, I couldn't push myself past the first few chapters.

Dearest Cousin Jane was very hard to read. I found myself, even after several chapters, unable to understand who was speaking, and which characters were which. The writing was very formal and good, and matched the time period, so I'm not complaining about that. I just didn't like the fact that I didn't understand what I was reading, and had to go back and re-read several times.

Dearest Cousin Jane got higher ratings on Amazon and goodreads. Please check out some other reviews.
