This book was so applicable to modern life. Even though it is over a hundred years old it still had almost unending relevance. Debt, marriage, gossip, politics, morality, religion, hypocrisy, art, medicine, generational gaps. I guess I learned from this book that the issues and problems that exist today are nothing new. I loved this book, and am very glad I read it.

I'm glad I read it. There was a hot minute (hour) where I thought it all was going to end badly, which made me realize I really cared about it all.
