Thank you - I agree. The bloated, indulgent novel is exhausting and there is a kind of loss aversion when half-way through, to grit your teeth and heroically continue to the end. Glad to see Midnight's Children mentioned in the comments - one of my favourite novels. I have ordered the Solace novel on your recommendation
