Query: Terrible

Terrible - the thing that amazes me is that it is so badly written. I quote: "Caroline smiled at her half brother, whom she had come to like once the fierce war over their father's estate had ended not long after she had become, all on her own, a successful newspaper proprietor, fulfilling what had been his dream." Who does that final "his" refer to, for goodness' sake? The book is entirely composed of this kind of slack prose - an authentic disaster!
