Starting Up.

Due to the finishing of my exams (at last) I decided to visit the library. Yes, the library. I eventually decided to take out the novel, "Falling Angels", by Tracy Chevalier. Unfortuantly, it's bland and basic descriptions have lost my interest but the theme of love is indeed prominant. Disappointing, since I enjoyed her highly exclaimed novel, "Girl with a Pearl Earring". (Since I read that when I was 11 my literary tastes may have differed, from school girl trashy teens left to decompose at the edge of the library, where, sadly no one went.)"Falling Angels" raises questions about women's rights, based around 1905 this was typical of Chevalier. But, as expected the same, dull storyline proceeds. Evidently Chevalier has lost her touch.
