I think this would be a fabulous tale, if it were butchered a bit. It's just too long and drawn out with too much detail. Otherwise, the idea of woman taking up brewing and competing against a ruthless abbot determined to put her out of business...is wonderful stuff. I had no idea brewing was cutthroat, nor did I realize hops was so strange an idea at one time aka beer. But this has began to feel like the never-ending story. Never-ending stories with too much detail just can't hold me.

"What exactly is Adam's role in this household? Obviously I missed the explanation. And why can be be alone with her but not other men? he's not a brother. I don't know what he is."

Hilarious. And there I was forcing myself to slow down because I didn't want to finish the story too quickly. Just shows, eh?
