Painted Drum
I finally finished The Painted Drum last night. I have been– and am–ailing from something, so I have done little for two weeks. I think I feel a little better today… anyhow, it took me a long time to get through The Drum and I was very disappointed in most aspects of it– the disorganized presentation of the plot lines, and, to me, an indication that she is short on a good idea for a novel. Or maybe it is just my bad mood showing through. Happy New Year, all. Phyllis
