This was a very ambitious read for me! It took me almost 10 months to read it. I've always struggled to read classics but I've been trying to read at least one per year (this was my 2024 pick obviously). 

I find it very challenging to read such large novels where there is a lot of rambling and side tangents, but those things definitely added to the richness of th book and didn't feel superfluous. 

I'll probably have to sit with this for a while before writing a proper review on instagram, but this book is definitely worth your time.
