I know! All the reviews are dumb. >:O Also, WHO READS THIS BOOK and is like "Mantel is writing humorously about English and Irish national characteristics"? WHO?!
I comfort myself by telling myself that Mantel-world is not our world . . . . La Mantel clearly comes from the land of La Mantel, where it is illegal to make beautiful writing out of things that are not hideously depressing. :(
