  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

This is one of the first classic books I've read in a while, so some of the writing went over my head. BUT I would still highly recommend it for beginners of classics, beautiful prose and a attention-grabbing plot. Could see this being 5 stars on a re-read or studying up a detailed analysis on it.
