I don’t read classics too often but this book reminded me why I should. The characters and story were so well done. I was actually reacting at some parts with the same emotion I would a romance novel written in the modern day and yet it has layers of social, economic, and religious themes that make it the longstanding classic that it is. Would recommend.

A classic Victorian drama time piece. It was an easy read, and enjoyable. I have not watched the BBC series, so I went into this blind. I do recommend this novel, you will be swept away to another time. I hope to watch the miniseries. This is FREE for Prime members on Amazon.

Túl lassú, a BBC sorozat sokkal jobb, mint a könyv,bár az utolsó két oldal sok mindenért kárpótol.
