It took me three years to read it but I am glad I did. I ended up really enjoying it though it was touch and go there for a while.

Going from [b:Pamela|417549|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Samuel Richardson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387740117s/417549.jpg|2214950] to [b:Clarissa|624600|Clarissa|Érico Veríssimo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1250707015s/624600.jpg|610960] feels like leaping 300 years in the history of the novel. Yes, Clarissa is (way, way, WAY) too long, but it does need some of that length: the psychological acuity is incredible.
