This is the best book I’ve ever read. Truly a wonderful and insightful exploration of humanity and morality. While the premise is tragic the book leaves you with a feeling of hope and warmth.

3.5

 The book was slow and boring for the first parts. The last parts start picking up the pace and really tie the story together. I was very uncomfortable with the graphic animal abuse, I think a TW is necessary because the scene is too graphic and violent. This book suffers from r/menwrittingwomen in the way that women have little to no characterization, even fewer lines, or are used as a textbook description of hysteria. Only men enjoy the privilege of being written as deep and being constructed as real characters.

As a classic in literature, it must be read, however I do not think I will read more books by the author. The writting is very good, and the subjects are complex, however, it has a lot of filler and women are either caricatures of hysterics or have paper thin personalities
