What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?
I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?
CJ Cherryh. The beginning of Foreigner is a bit odd (it’s essentially a novella of backstory), and her writing style didn’t fully click with me.
Then I read Heavy Time (and the rest of her Alliance-Union novels). She’s now my favorite science fiction author of all time.
