Very slowly reading 'Odysseus Abroad' by Amit Chaudhuri
It's enjoyable, but I get most pleasure reading the descriptions of the interactions between characters. Endless descriptions of which London streets the character could have walked along but didn't, or did, then found he'd been walking a long way round, isn't enthralling and I don't find it 'wildly comedic' as described.
The cover also describe it as 'an uncle and nephew share a summer's day'. Well, I'm less than halfway through the book and the events so far have taken place over months. Not sure about a single summer's day. He's gone through his relationship with 3 tutors so far. That's some day. Maybe those reviewers didn't get past the first chapter. Sure, the book starts in one day, and flips back to what is happening in that day, but the book is describing events taking place over months, not in one day.
