The
Goddess of Fortune by Andrew Blencowe 362 pages
I
won this book in a Shelf Awareness (an e-newsletter) a couple of years
ago. Judging a book by its cover, this
looks like a great read. Although I knew it alternate history, the time period
was World War II, so how could it be a disappointment?
Over
the past couple of years, I’ve tried five or six times to read this novel, but
alas, I could never get past page 40.
The
dust jacket says that the story is about, “What if by the passing of just two
events, Japan and Germany had won World War II?” However I have no idea what Blencowe was talking
about in those 40 pages. There is a well-described sex scene, which from
flipping through and scanning several pages, seems to be pre-dominate plot.
The
Goddess of Fortune isn’t my cup of tea. It gets 1 out of 5 stars (for
a great cover) in Julie’s world.
