It took me a few days to figure out what to say about this book. For good or ill, it did make an impression.
I’m not sure what I can add to the discourse that hasn’t been said already. Like many other readers, I feel that Yesteryear suffers from a lack of good editing. The premise is solid and intriguing, but the execution of the idea falls flat. For example, I’m disappointed at the lack of Burke’s deep research into Christianity, or Natalie’s underdeveloped character.
That said, I did fly through the book, and, despite its faults, I can see why it might be the book of the summer.
