The Mighty and Their Fall; I. Compton-Burnett; 1962;

Everything I said about the dialogue-happy prose of The Death of the Heart goes double here.  This is a stage play and not a novel.  One chapter in, I don't believe in any of these characters, and am not interested in reading another 200 pages.  Maybe later.  

No back cover comparisons to other writers here; I'd believe in comparisons to Spark, but I greatly preferred Memento Mori to this.
