A rich and often enthralling narrative that charms with its nineteenth century language and sensibilities. Though relatively long, it was infrequent that I felt even a tinge of boredom as I read. Certain parts or elements may not always appeal entirely to a sensitive modern reader, particularly the arguably dehumanizing portrayal of mental illness; or the antiquated views of class (which I find to be quaint in their silliness, and which  in several cases seem to be critiqued by the author). Overall, any issues taken with plot, portrayal, or pacing aren’t to be too much considered when confronted with the overwhelming literary artistry that is to be enjoyed with this work.

It does keep you in your toes with some plot twists but also got me frustrated many times when the characters act completely illogically.
