A review by professor_elle
Monkey Dish by Michael Curley

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and  to #StoryGraph for making review copies of this book available. I normally request only books I think I will like, so I rarely write negative reviews of gift books. But I quit this one 25% in and it was a slog getting that far. 

As a child of the 70s, I often enjoy fiction set in that time period, so the description of this book intrigued me. But I gave up on it because I couldn’t detect any thread of a plot, and none of the characters were developed enough to sustain my interest without a story.
