481. Lynne Truss - Tennyson's Gift


I gave up on this before even discovering what Tennyson’s Gift was.

A tedious reconstruction of a (possible or actual, I never got that far) few days on the Isle of Wight in the late 19th century featuring, inter alia, Tennyson and his wife, Lewis Carroll, GF Watts a painter married to a young Ellen Terry, and a couple of other Victorians. But no real plot – just interactions between people either trying to impress or disliking each other.
