Does some interesting things with gender, and has a lot of complicated thoughts on religion that I personally enjoyed. Lyndall’s “New Woman” plot leaves a lot to be desired, but she’s a very interesting feminist character.

I can't place this book as strictly Victorian or even Realist. I was more concerned about the animals than the people, which feels wrong. The characters are flat. The animal cruelty was upsetting. This is not an engaging book if you're looking for plot, either. I thought I was learning something but now I don't know what I got out of this.
