Tedious and repetitious

Somewhat interesting piece of historical fiction but also somewhat clumsily written. It seemed that every chapter ended with a dark foreboding line that indicated that “things were about to become much worse.” Not sure that’s a direct quote but it’s the sense that was conveyed aloud too many times. A little subtlety might have been nice. The book also needed tighter editing. A few sentences contained repeated clauses, and Hick took walks with her dog apparently after the report of his death.
