I tried this one several times. Never got past page 50. Can't believe that Byatt is...shoot, Not Drabble's sister, but someone else's, who also writes. (Darn this memory!)
I remember hearing on CBC radio an interview with the sister...who laughed and made the interviewer (and the listeners) laugh a lot. In contrast to the interview with Byatt, who was so filled with pomposity that she quite put me to sleep.
Byatt refused to talk about her sister, while the sister (damn it all, what *is* her name!!!???) mentioned that Byatt didn't like it when she spoke about her.
That and Byatt's anti-J K Rowling 'essay' (which read so much like sour grapes) has put me off her completely.
