Review of 'Some Do Not...' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Ford is very, very thorough. It's like he was writing for the future, knowing that the social machinations of the day would seem so antiquated just a generation later, so that it all had to be written down for historians' sake. It's a little hard to relate to the motivations of these characters, however.

There are some really beautiful passages, as well.
