It's no "Good Behavior"
I bought this book because I was stunned by the perfection of "Good Behavior" which I expect to read again and again over the years. (I've read it at least 5 times over the past year alone.) "Queen Lear" isn't up to the standard Molly Keane set in "Good Behavior." Where does it fall down, exactly? The dominant characters are largely unappealing, but that doesn't explain it. They are equally ...
