    <body><![CDATA[I think the greatest strength of this book is the utter uniqueness of it. I don't think I've ever read a book like it. It is set in the Victorian year of 1867, and yet, the sensibility of the book is thoroughly grounded in the 1960s (when it was written).

The traditional, romantic aspects of this story are what hooked me--bereft young woman turns the head of a more-or-less conventional, and engaged, young man in 1860s England and drama ensues.

    <body><![CDATA[This novel is written in an unusual style that really keeps the reader on his/her toes.  Fowles intervenes frequently to remind us that he is a 20th-century author telling a story that take palces in England in the 19th century when morals and prejudices were much different than they would become 10...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59832478">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had a hard time with the first fifty or so pages of this book, then I really got into it after that.  Don't know why, maybe just getting used to the writing style.
