The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman

Louis de Bernières

Rory was trying to read this but had to interrupt to read Alison Lurie and the Anita Desai, for the R4 Book Club. Then he couldn't be bothered to re-start. No narrative thrust. A bit weird: 300 year old knights... Nowhere near as good as Captain Corelli. Characters merge together. Doreen also unable to read this one - just too weird.
