PBS 100 Great American reads list. Thandiwe Newton’s “narration” in this 2016 Audible Audiobook version breathed life into the pages written unbelievably nearly 200 years ago, truly worth the purchase!

My actual rating: 4.5. While I have enjoyed this book to the fullest, I have taken out just a teeny tiny 0.5 star out of my rating because of the age gap and the rape threat, yes I know it was in rage but still, by Mr. Edward Fairfax.

Other than that, I have no objections. I loved reading it and I have gotten into this habit of reading the book alongside the audiobook (I read the book and the audiobook plays alongside the line I am reading. I usually use librivox recordings.) which makes a book more enjoyable.

oh my goooooood finally finished this just so i can log it here i was SO BORED!!!

Beautifully and sharply written. Intensely readable for an older work of Britlit.
