Query: A very slow book of little interest to non New Yorkers

If one is looking for action or passion this is not the book toread. I found myself to be an onlooker to the characters and at notime felt I was involved with their lives. The plot, if there was one, was very, very slow to develop. The only reason I finished reading this painfully slow book was to be prepared for meeting with my monthly book club. Most of the ladies in my reading group agreed that too much detail and description took away from any story line. For those readers who find this their all time favourite book ~ quite simply I don't get it! The plot was so vague that it was a mystery to me what the mystery was all about. The love interest never developed into a heart-gripping story. Overall I was left as cold as the winter. With so much research into the history of the time the author was off to a good start ~ perhaps a different editor could have helped ad a little zip!
