| I thought it was long in the end. And though I deeply admired the writing--it became a bit discursive and meandering and it was hard to love any of the characters--especially the main character, who remained elusive and unloveable because he was so c...more | |

| I loved everything about this book: the weaving of the Dickens with the life on the remote ocean island. The incredible attention to language. The heart. This book was a surprise and a revelation to me about how much a plot could could and how much p...more | |
