I’m so glad I finally read this book. My dear professor in my undergrad years taught this novel as her favorite in a course called “The Victorians” — (10 novels in 10 weeks). I didn’t have the fortitude or bravery for it. Too bad for me.
This book is an historical novel — written 50ish years after when it takes place. It is essentially, an “Austen-esque” novel with the addition of more modern thought and style of writing. It is satirical social commentary— where the narrator will pop in and comment on the times.
Very enjoyable!
