The fourty-fifth book: #44 Humpry Clinker - Tobias Smullett

Another epistolary here, although here it's satirical for sure. We have five writers, each writing to someone else, with all five traveling around the UK to different places in aid of the health of the uncle. We explore these characters through each other's and their own eyes. There's an exploration of society at the time, with a number of different viewpoints from the different characters.

The story is quite good and has some interesting moments while also telling its story quite well. It does struggle to stay focuse din place - or perhaps it's better to say I struggled with its focus sometimes - which led to some moments where I lost parts of what was going on, but for the most part it worked well and became an entertaining work.
