Vera by Elizabeth von Arnim
4.0
challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I love Elizabeth von Arnim's wit and characterisation, which was also on display here, despite the darker topics of an innocent and vulnerable young lady being swept up by an abusive older man who love-bombs her. It was von Arnim with a hint of Rebecca, and that was no bad thing! That ending though...ARGH!!!
