I agree! I thought Muriel Spark created an excellent protagonist, and then couldn’t decide what to do with her, so she didn’t do hardly anything. It’s made me a little leery of picking up more Muriel Spark books since then.

I loved the character’s humor and wit, her observations about people’s behavior and her many advises, but this book seemed to be about nothing at all. Funny, in the book, Mrs. Hawkins declines publishing a huge novel from an aspiring writter because the book “really seemed to be about nothing at all”. Hmmm, Mrs. Hawkins should have told that to Muriel Spark too.
