A review by richardpierce
The Museum of Things Left Behind by Seni Glaister

3.0

I really enjoyed reading this book but the ending felt rushed and inconclusive (a suspicion confirmed by the acknowledgements). There are some very fine observations in here about human nature, our impact on the environment, and the narrow-mindedness of the English. The complexity of Vallerosean government also made me think of Gormenghast which is not a bad thing. I just wish the pace of the writing had been more consistent.
