If I had actually read it, but gave mine away. Concept was just not clicking for me. Curious about this proliferation of biographically informed fiction of late. It does seem to have great appeal but do you think it has greater appeal when the reader knows less about the subject as you suggest here? I still can't decide but think that I definitely enjoyed the recent The Great Lover more because I knew so little about Rupert Brooke.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597485569740436880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-56648147697339728972010-06-29T14:51:03.085-04:002010-06-29T14:51:03.085-04:00I just read Alyce's review of this book today,...I just read Alyce's review of this book today, and was not surprised to read that it was just okay.
