A little predictable and not very exciting
This was a nice enough story which went very well with the nice weather we had while I was reading it. It felt strange reading about an idyllic holiday abroad at a time when that wasn't really something we could do.
However I found that the narrative was a little dull. Never have I read a story where so little happened on so many pages. I imagine this might just be something personal to me, but it really wasn't the most exciting thing to read. However it was pleasant and an easygoing and trouble free read for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
I feel there were too many characters for me to keep track of, and I also feel like the story would benefit you if you read My Family and Other Animals, because the story is basically one big tribute to this particular story. I haven't read that, so I found it a little difficult to follow sometimes.
Not for me, but for those who like easy stories, this is for you.
