Dickens-esc.

Well written and passionate. A classic.

Makes me want to read Willa Cather and Sarah Waters again.

excellent reading

I had read this book years ago. It's still exceptional reading for any age or reason.

Tired

This book was 10 hours longer than it needed to be. I forced myself to listen to it, and again and again I would put it down. I finally finished it, and sadly I would never want to read from this author again. There were a few interesting parts, but just to long to describe what was a on going insecurity. I’m exhausted and not sure what happened at the end. But trust I will not go back.

Too long and too boring

Narrator was excellent. The book was way too long, way too many details that did not enhance the story at all. I would have stopped reading it except for the fact that it was my book club's choice. I definitely do not recommend it.

kept hoping it would get better. hated it

struggled to finish. after all of the dredging into thoughts and character...the reader was left to finish the storyline is the characters.
