Book review: Victoria Grandolet by Henry Bellamann

Genre: Period Drama set in the South of USA.

This book was originally published way back in 1943. The book is titled after one of the characters in the book Victoria Grandolet. The book starts with Victoria marrying into the Grandolet family and then explores her journey into this new experience.

The settings and people in the book are laid out pretty well though it could get a bit ponderous from time to time. I did not find the narrative thread in the book to be interesting nor were the characters or their interactions anything to write home about.

All in all the book was pretty dull and the only reason to get this is if you are curious about the author.

Rating: 2 / 5, Below average. Not terrible but bland overall.
