Boooring! It was a quick read, but that's because there was no depth. Nothing exciting or intriguing happens to anyone. It's just the doldrums of the daily life of a spinster living off a meager retirement in a rented room. Personally I think it may have been more fun to read of her life with her housemate before the housemate dies. Miss Garnet mentions that folks used to speculate that the two were lesbian. Well that would have been more interesting. I didn't finish it, but did peek to the back to see if it got more interesting, to perhaps convince me to stay with the book, but it didn't seem that way. There were new characters introduced, but there still seemed to be a shallowness that I just couldn't keep my eyelids open for.
