Usually I'm not a fan of classic books, but holy cow this book was perfect. The characters were quirky and tragic, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the second and third parts of the book felt like a beautifully tragic homecoming. Perfect book, no complaints.

я ожидала, что это будет еще один «роман про мебель». Как Век Невинности Эдит Уортон.
Но для романа про мебель, мебели здесь было очень мало… а без этого и сюжет, и персонажи совсем скучные.
От такого жанра я жду, что утону в прекрасном описании красок и окружения того века, но тут… как-то не удалось
