The Miseducation of Evie Epworth – A Book Review

This debut is a coming-of-age story set in 1960s Yorkshire. Matson Taylor’s writing is an easy read, and the local accent shines through in the dialogue. The barrier to me loving this book was struggling to believe that Evie was always so nice to Christine, and struggling to believe that Arthur really didn’t see through her/past her breasts. I’m still not sure the opening cow incident was necessary. Not a stand out book for me, but I’m sure it is going to be well-loved by many people.
