This was really hard for me to rate because classics are not my normal cup of tea. I read this on a recommendation from a friend who told me it is incredibly (probably unintentionally) queer coded, and that it was! I did enjoy the story but it does have the slow strolling pace of a classic that I am not overly fond of. Definitely a great intro to classics if you are wanting to try them out!
