Query: A BIG disappointment!

After reading Megan Marshall's engrossing book about the Peabody sisters, I was intrigued by Susan Cheever's 'American Bloomsbury' and borrowed it from the library. Thank goodness I didn't buy it! A 'nice early review' quoted on Cheever's website (without a source) described the book as a "dishy romp" with the "Concord gang" and, indeed, Cheever has managed to turn one of the richest, most fascinating periods of American life and letters into a cheesy bodice-ripper. And it's so poorly written! Although Cheever purports to teach writing at the graduate level the book is full of cliches such as "Alcott's voice reached out through the century,....drawing characters that seem to come alive on the page..." or clunkers like "Thoreau...had already written a lot and graduated from Harvard." Written a lot? After Marshall's vivid, nuanced and thought-provoking depiction of this circle, 'American Bloomsbury' is an embarrassment.
