This was another disappointment for me. I really liked Lamb's older works but haven't enjoyed his more recent ones.

I found this book disjointed. The plot holding together Lamb's pronouncements about the plight of women and the need for feminism was very thin, and I found his use of ghosts to discuss historical examples of women's inequality silly and contrived. As a result, much of the story was almost straight exposition (telling vs showing), and so it was eminently put-down-able.

This is unfortunate. I know Lamb has talent and skill, but I think lately he has allowed the story to be overshadowed by the message.
