This was written 50 years ago and it shows. Loved the writing style, pacing and setting that was developed in this book. I was totally engrossed in it, and a few strangers that saw me reading it said as much.
What lost me was that I didn’t find any characters likable and the writing of the female characters felt sexist - all whiny romantic types that are disposable and fall for terrible men.
