Query: dreary and non-engaging

This is a book club choice so I wished to be conversant for the discussion. However, I could not force myself past 100 pages. I found the style to be disjointed and just plain boring. I am not a fan of British lit in general, the plodding, prim, takes forever to say anything, much less happen style. But this novel was just painful for a reader to try and care about any of the characters. My time is too valuable with other great reads to pursue rather than this book.
