“Secrets of the Greek Revival” by Eva Pohler

 The story kept my attention and I liked that its focus was the rest cure. However, the writing style is quite average and simplistic. I would call it “middle-aged housewife style”. From the straightforward plotting and dialogue, you can tell that the author has written a lot of YA literature.

The main protagonists were middle aged women with empty nest syndrome. Among a number of other writing faults, I got tired of hearing about the times when the lead woman peed herself a bit. There were also too many people walking around who believed in ghosts as if it were the most normal thing in the world. The entertainment value of the book is not enough to overcome its intellectual failings. I will not read this author again.
