Not worth reading as a book; worth reading for the prose Rooney writes, some of which is quite good. Lilian is 85 years old in 1985, so she’d be 117 years old today, and yet Rooney writes the character as if she’s a 35-year-old from 2017. Events of the past provide the setting of the book, but it’s a work of time-travel, sending an ultra-modern woman of today and projecting her into the past. It doesn't work.
