Rejected: Black Wine by Candas Jane Dorsey

[kilroy]

Verdict: Texture problems. This is clearly trying to be a serious, literary novel. It's gothic and impenetrable, probably full of metaphysics and social commentary and utterly lacking in compelling characters. If you liked The Handmaid's Tale you're welcome to try it, but I will courteously pass. (9.5/27 keepers)
