An incredibly long slow book. Equal parts romantic and tragic, on both grand and personal scales. Not riveting plotwise, and some of the characters were at times insufferable, but overall the story was pleasant and had many wonderful small detailed moments.
Pleasantly surprised by brief queer rep. And the audio narrator did a wonderfully smooth job w the accents!
