The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell

 Great writing, but I was not as engaged as I was with Hamnet. I hate comparing the two books, but I kind of HAD TO.  The marketing of the book was capitalizing on the success of Hamnet.  Look at the covers:



Not really relevant but bothers me that the covers are so similar.  

The writing is good, of course, but I was not as drawn into the characters and the story as I was with Hamnet.  Maggie is still a favorite author - don't get me wrong!
