Aneel reviewed The truelove by Patrick O'Brian
Review of 'The truelove' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I think O'Brian has written himself into a corner. The lead characters, the ones we really care about, are too settled. As a result, all of the interpersonal tension in this book focuses on secondary characters, and a lot of the action takes place in stories that one character tells to another, rather than in the main narrative.
