Reviews for The Homeless Heiress
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Intriguing beginning, with a mysterious ex-military government agent capturing a scruffy thief and then discovering the grimy boy is an elegant young lady fallen on desperate times.
The predictability of the romantic development is offset by a subplot concerning treacherous Bonapartists, but neither the romance nor the action is able to prevent the story slipping into a repetition of stilted dialogues, lifeless descriptions, and two-dimensional characterisations.
The last few chapters are particularly dire. With a hundred pages to go I had enough interest invested in the outcome to soldier on to the end, but only by skimming and skipping through dozens of ever-more-boring paragraphs.
The historical authenticity of the story wasn't helped by some disturbingly modern colloquialisms and copy-and-paste descriptions of clothing, food, and other atmosphere-building props.
