Ms. Felicity Graves was an elderly Englishwoman living in a quaint American town, often enjoying leisurely walks and smelling the roses. Surrounding her are various characters: Doreen, a 19-year old waitress, and Chery-Lynne, a 9th grade teacher. Each have their own stories to tell. At first, you don’t really see the correlation between the characters or how they all fit in the story. You have to filter through aimless monologues only to get more characters thrown into the mix. It felt cluttered and chaotic. And the fact that it constantly switches from one character to the next did little to alleviate the confusion. I know that there was a mystery in here somewhere, but I just couldn’t really see it in all the commotion.
Although the writing was proper and decent, the story did not capture me as well as I’d hoped.
My rating: 2 stars
