Trespass by Rose Tremain

I didn't really enjoy this book. It is very easy to read and the plot is quite good but it is a bit 'between genres'. It tries to be very deep and literary but it doesn't quite make it, and the plot is a bit too ponderous to make for a great mainstream/holiday novel. In my opinion, there are too many narrators, so the reader's viewpoint keeps switching which makes it difficult to really engage with any of the characters. Whilst the book is fairly enjoyable, there is definitely something missing which prevents this from being excellent.
