The Summer Guest

The Summer Guest by Alison Anderson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

These are the things I liked: I liked the character of Zinaida and her sisters. I thought a family of daughter doctors and teachers was fascinating at that time, and to have access to other artistic and intellectual minds through her musical brother George and their guests, the Chekovs would be amazing.
Yes, I think that is it. I found the plot implausible, the action passive, and the twist was not a twist for the reader (at least this reader). Even the conversations between Anton and Z. were not unique or especially enlightening. The two contemporary characters were boring and depressing. One final rant: the lack of quotation marks was confusing and maddening.
