Love in the Ruins

Melody Izard

I slogged through this only making it because of an occasional witty descriptive phrase. The story is about the collapse of a fragmented society. Dr. Tom More has invented a device (a lapsometer) which he believes can cure people from their demons. He has his own demons too. 
Some will find his writing and the plot clever and brilliantly written. I found both very tedious.
