I wish I had read this novel when I was 15, I think that would've been the perfect age for me to fully appreciate it.

It's strange, because while I never felt much emotion while reading this, I was rarely, if ever, bored. It held my interest through the entire thing. That's saying something for a book this long with a relatively simple plot and almost no forward momentum. It was also very easy to understand, aside from several characters going by multiple names.
I think if you like classics and aren't intimidated by how thick this is, give it a go.

The foreshadowing was done great. I especially liked how
It did drag in some places, though really what can you expect from a book of this length, and while I understood the strategy behind the last part
Graphic: Death, Suicide attempt, Suicide, and Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Classism and Grief
Minor: Antisemitism, War, and Sexism
Most of this book revolves around adultery and suicidal thoughts and actions.
