The epitome of the style of time in terms of phrasing and creating a atmosphere without words. Interesting how the themes of class and entitlement are explored. A much more relaxed view on society than early 19th century literature, and a strong sense of familiarity is created by the dialogue used.

I expected this to be a light story, like A Room With A View, but this is a much darker story. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this book. The writing style and use of language are incredibly beautiful, and surprisingly modern. Many of the concerns and questions raised are the same today, though perhaps acted out differently.
