Read my full thoughts over at Read.Write.Repeat.
It's easy to get caught up in the beauty of the writing and the skin deep idyllic scenes. I loved the book for that. It reminded me a lot of The Age of Innocence in that way. Beauty and excess abound, yet so do poor intentions and flippant attitudes about serious matters. I kept vacillating back and forth, trying to decide whether I liked the book or found it level with the other seemingly mass-produced Brit lit classics I've been slogging through for this challenge. Don't get me wrong. You know I love them, but they do all start to run together after a while.
