Mehso-so

I can accept that this is nicely written, and some people will like it very much, but I‘m afraid this coming-of-age story of two sisters, set in post-war Bristol didn‘t really move me.

Ride on! ride on in majesty! / In lowly pomp ride on to die. Or, Thou, most kind and gentle death, / Waiting to hush our latest breath, / O praise him, alleluia! It perplexed Evelyn that there was such a mismatch between the lurid passionate words of the hymns and the tame chit-chat of the congregation at the end of services, when any mention of death - or for that matter lowly pomp, or even riding - would have seemed jarring and excessive.
