I've always felt that in GN Ransome was trying to make his characters more "grown up" (within limits). But an interesting result was, I suspect, that he felt more distant from them, almost estranged, and as a result the writing had more of a "recording observer" quality than that of (almost) a participant. And as a result the book seems out of character with the rest of the canon.
