Hannah S. (slothmold) - , reviewed on 10/5/2010 + 38 more book reviews

This is a readable book, but distinguishable from other "lone Roman in Britain" novels only by its dismal writing style. The author relies heavily on modern idioms and has done such minimal research that I'm inclined to believe she's using "corn" to refer to American maize rather than the rarely-employed general term for grain. The main characters are likable enough, but mostly wooden. Read it if you have nothing else, but you won't be satisfied.
