Her heroine, Dot, used to think she was 'pretty, sweet and nice' but now finds herself depressed by a sterile suburban life with her uncommunicative, if amply endowed, husband. In Dot in the Universe, Lucy Ellmann takes her riotous comic imagination to new extremes. Whatever value there may be in likening James and Silsbee as unscrupulous literary felons, fiction is not the best medium - in Tennant's case, at any rate - for exploring such an idea. But the book's main weakness is the stilted, often melodramatic narrative describing James's relationship with Constance. While Georgina's voice is superficially Jamesian, her narrative fails to create well-defined or engaging characters.
