I fear this is a tale best told in a readable form. The narrator undertakes a lengthy and formidable task, delineating the many characters with varying degrees of success. Unfortunately, she has chosen for Cora, the protagonist, a truly bizarre mix of vocal traits that end in giving her a combination of Scots and West Indian burr. It became as annoying as it was unfathomable, exceeded only by the shrill bellowing of most of the children. Cora’s son, Franklin, does not bellow and instead makes an unconvincing attempt at a boy on the spectrum.

I feel sure this well-loved period piece fares better when one can see rather than hear the characters.

Oh dear. How precious.

More than halfway through the novel, I was getting bored and desperate to find out if there was an actual serpent. I had to Google it, because the labour to remain engaged was higher than my enjoyment. I’m willing to give a lot of books some slack at the beginning, but when a “serpent” is in your title. The reader expects more than innuendos, hearsay, and metaphors. I was expecting so much more given some of the hype, but it’s the very least I was hoping for an enjoyable even mediocre book. The rating is solid and the pace is tolerable, but the longer the story continued the more I realized this was not a book about fantasy or magic, but a drab drama disguising itself. Uggg!

Boring and desperate!
