I loved Kate Morton's book The Forgotten Garden. It was lovely. I received many recommendations for The Distant Hour so I decided to read it. I got to page 93 (out of 560); then I had to put it down. The writing was so boring and long winded. There were too many flowery details of things that just didn't matter. I skipped entire paragraphs because the description was just too much. Which is just a shame because the story was great. So I ended up reading Wikipedia so I would know how the story goes. It's an amazing story and I wish I could get past the pretentious and flowery details.
