Query: A sequal that should not have been written?

I own Godwin's novels and like her fiction works, each one read more than once..first to enjoy, second to relish the substance and her style. I did not care for this sequal to "Father Melancholy's Daughter," original, executed with subtle skill, leaving one wanting to know more about Margaret Gower's life. In "Evensong," Godwin seems to struggle too hard with her narrative and characters in an obstructive, over-written, authorial self-consciousness.I shall remain a Godwin fan, however. Out of her imagination, or her unconscious,(?) arise some secondary, wonderfully, obnoxious female characters, which she kills off, or does she integrate them? I hope she brings up more of them!
