The Inheritors

1. Read a chapter or two first to get used to the narrative rhythm, then decide whether to keep brief notes on character relationships and plot threads.
2. Notice how the same event differs in different characters' telling; after finishing, revisit key dialogues to appreciate the narrative's reservation and suggestion.
3. It may help to first learn the basic background concerning inheritance and commercial interests in the novel, then enter the text with fewer obstacles to understanding.
4. If time is limited, proceed section by section by chapter, writing one sentence after each on your judgment of character motives, then revise it against later text.
