I have somehow managed to read three books by this author and every time I get irritated by her religious viewpoint. The previous two had much better character work And I felt the same as you about the anachronistic feeling dialogue. I must admit that the long list is starting to pall on me a little and I think I will wait for the shortlist now😂

@bookishmartin I'm starting to wonder whether I should join you and wait for the shortlist!
Yeah, literary fiction is very hit or miss for me, and usually a miss, unfortunately.
Yeah, it's baffling the way that it's considered superior to other genres.
