Query: Dreadful - I wish I hadn't read it

As a 'sequel' to GWTW this book was embarrassing. Ripley seems to have little idea as to characterisation, and the main characters do not ring true to the original. And where have the supporting characters gone?In addition, as an Irish person I am both embarrassed and offended by the appalling portrait of 19th-century Ireland. Authors should write about what they know; Ripley certainly does not know Ireland.Forget this book, and remember GWTW as it is.
