Query: Enjoyable, but not entirely satisfying

This is an entertaining book, but the authors missed the opportunity to make the characters more complex and more interesting. What are the Countess's politics? How does Fatima feel about the pampered dog? Does the well-born Hippolyte have any qualms about his new love, who is a maid? There are interesting cultural and class issues that could have added richness to the story. In addition, the writing is uneven.Despite these weaknesses, I happily read to the end. This book would be good travel reading.
