Absent in the Spring
3 Sterne
Racist and colonialist right out of the gate. The author tells us in clumsy, halting self-revelations that the protagonist is smug, controlling, and unable to think outside of conventions, that a man's vision of life ought to be prime, while her unloving and dishonest family is portrayed as hard done by. The premise was compelling and the epilogue befitting, true to life.
