Pure

This book promised a lot but failed to deliver. I enjoyed it, but felt there was so much more it could have given in terms of plot and character development, a Guardian book review puts it well: “It is disappointing, given the vitality of the novel's setting and set-up, that Miller fails to achieve corresponding dynamism in the development of plot and character”.

Disappointing overall, although the descriptions of place in both smell and sight were very good.
