What a weird book. Very dark. I didn't expect the extremely religious turn, and wasn't sure what to make of it. I think that if smythe hadn't been cured,I would have just found it eerie, but it ended up ending on a slight preachy note instead. A good book about love and obsession and grief and where they can take us. I would like to read more by him, and to find out how much of this was fiction and how much was autobiographical. This review sucks

2.5, meaning the writing was fine. Greene is a good writer, I didn't really like the characters in this book, I found myself frustrated by them.

Very little connection to time period, and way too much spiritual crisis for my preference. Lots of men feeling sorry for themselves. Occasional bits of great/engaging writing but Colin Firth’s narration of the audiobook was likely the only thing that kept this from being a DNF for me.

Struggled with the diary chapters and the references to Him, but a great story.
