larakai 's review for:
Wives and Daughters
by Elizabeth Gaskell
I'm not sorry that invested so much time into reading this seemingly endless book, but I am sorry that it does, in fact, end and that the end comes before it's truly over. I can't be mad because how do you get mad at an author for dying before finishing writing... but I am left feeling a bit off because I didn't get the closure I would have liked (definitely need to watch the BBC series now... maybe that will help).
Aside from that, I really enjoyed the story. The characters are well-developed, and even though you don't like them all, you can understand why they act the way they do. It's fun watching Molly grow up and seeing how she deals with the changes in her life while staying true to who she is and maintaining her values. We may not have made it all the way to the satisfying end, but the journey was a good one nonetheless and absolutely worth it.
