Piercing themes ahead of its time and gets at the crux of the male-female double standards that have long existed and continue to, but other elements of the book (character development, getting at the honest heart of thoughts / intentions / reflections, prose) were lacking for my taste

Lovely story of love, duty, forgiveness, and happiness.
Good one time read.
Good story. But a bit boring narrative.. the arguments and characterization of Mr.Huntingdon is very much real. That needs to be applauded.

Engaging, if predictable, first half to 2/3rds, but my god by the last 100 pages was I sick of all of them. And the previously excusable cartoonishness of Huntingdon’s rottenness went beyond the pale. As did Helen’s piety. Whether intentional or not, I’m not sure, but Gilbert is an extremely self-centered narrator. Uncomfortable with his actual childishness being so absolved — and rewarded! — in the last section.
At times those extreme parts of the characters’ personalities are so overplayed that I’d say its satire, but I didn’t get a hint of that from the writing. Just poorly conceived.
The middle epistolary section from Helen’s voice is the most enjoyable section, easily.
