The Bookseller’s Secret was perhaps not what I expected, or maybe I expected too much from the book. The truth is I had a hard time going through the book, it felt like the dialogue was too much and sometimes a bit pointless and I could not connect with the characters.
The story was interesting and even when I did not particularly like Katie; I liked her part of the story. The whole mystery thing, the setting in London, Jojo, Clive and Simon added to the story. And I know that the book focuses of Nancy Mitford but her part of the story felt so slow, so heavy, with too many characters (so many names!) and I did not like Nancy’s character at all (not saying she was bad, just did not liked her portrayal). Had I been a fan of Mitford, perhaps things would be different. Alas, it is what it is. I would definitely give Gable another chance, in fact, I have two of her books sitting in my shelf, but maybe I will not set my expectations so high.
