More bitter than sweet
By Christopher Sullivan
Mabel Dagmar is a plain teenage girl who is befriended by her beautiful, rich, blue blooded college roommate, Genevra Katherine Winslow who is known by the diminutive Ev for no obvious reason and no reason is ever given. Ev invites Mabel to spend the summer with her in her newly inherited house called Bittersweet at Winloch, an estate owned by Ev's parents and where all the Winslow family spend their summer.Mabel begins to realise that there are dark secrets at the heart of the Winslow family and decides to investigate the Winslow past. However, Mabel also harbours a secret which is as dark as any that haunt the Winslow family.Bittersweet is a competently written novel with the author having a good grasp of characterization, dialogue and plot. However, the novel is 150 pages to long and very bland in its style and substance. The novel's `twists' that are straightened out eventually are all obvious to anyone who is well read. The secrets are plot twists that have been used too often not only in books but in films especially in recent years. One twist concerns a Van Gogh painting that had the family had the sense to simply recover the back of the painting this particular secret would never have been exposed.Too often the author struggles for an analogy or simile she hasn't already utilised and in doing so becomes repetitive. Emotions and feelings wash over the characters too often in the form of water and its many guises; a lake, a river, rain. Allusions are writ large. Mabel's favourite book is Jane Eyre. She is always attempting to read Paradise Lost.Some scenes in the novel border on the ridiculous. Not once but twice Mabel stumbles upon couples having sex and she is also stumbled upon while she is masturbating. A young boy stumbles across his father having sex in the bathroom. The author wishes us to believe that a man in his seventies manages to outrun a fit, athletic twenty something when he pursues him after said twenty something witnesses a heinous act.As already mentioned the novel is far too long and is in need of a good editor. There are too many scenes that not only slow the pace of the story but are also redundant as they add nothing to the story's characterization or plotlines.Despite the above criticisms there is a good novel struggling to get out and hopefully the author will free that particular novel from this 400 page tome.First Line - Before she loathed me, before she loved me, Generva Katherine Winslow didn't know I existed.Memorable Line - NoneNumber of Pages - 400Profanity - YesSex Scenes - Yes

Overblown, poorly written nonsense
By Jood
Mabel Dagmar, the narrator of this tale is the dowdy, dumpy roommate of Genevra (Ev) Winslow - slim, beautiful, petulant and spoilt young brat of the Winslow clan. Ev tolerates Mabel - only just - but then, surprisingly, invites her to spend the summer at Winloch, the summer home where the whole family gathers. Oh Joy, thinks Mabel, as she jumps at the opportunity to escape her own awful family for a few months. She grabs what few clothes she possesses and her copy of Paradise Lost - a not too subtle comparison the author tries to draw between the "paradise" that is Winloch and Milton's classic which Mabel never manages to finish, despite that fact that she drags it with her whenever she goes.Despite the wealth of the Winslows, Winloch is made up of various dilapidated cottages, each with it's own twee flower or plant-based name, Bittersweet being one of them. Other unlikely ones are Jack-in-the-Pulpit and Queen Anne's Lace; I'm all for giving houses names, but these are just plain silly. Likewise the names of the Winslows - not a Chardonnay or Sharon, Kayden or Kylie among them - no, these people bear names such as Galway, Luvinia, Athol and Birch as befits their wealth and standing.The characters are obnoxious and mean; even Mabel is thoroughly unlikeable. Acutely embarrassed and angry at being found in a compromising position she thinks nothing of spying on at least two couples engaged in sexual activity, never for once imagining how they would feel if they knew they were being watched. Mabel is encouraged by an old Winslow crone to dig up some family dirt - secrets from generations ago, a task she undertakes with relish. She is selfish, greedy and sneaky - actually more like a Winslow than she realises, but I somehow don't think this was the author's intention.The story becomes more and more far-fetched the further it goes until I got to the point where I really didn't care what happened to any of these horrible people. However, I persevered but feel annoyed that I wasted so much time on it.This book has been compared to Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann. Whilst they are both stories of wealthy families frolicking in their respective summer homes - this is where the comparison ends. Although I didn't particularly rate the latter it is better than this which is so clunky and clumsy, liberally sprinkled with outdated words and phrases which I found irritating. The author labours under the belief that the more descriptive narrative the better, so she piles it on; the result, however, is an overblown novel which I have now, thankfully, finished, and will not think about again.
