I really enjoyed the structure of this book and how it showed the evolutions of the characters. It is long (but not slow) and I wonder how much of my discomfort/dislike of parts of this book comes from not necessarily understanding or relating to the historical context. All in all, I think there is a lot in this book though that is still relevant today and I really enjoyed the process of reading it.
