    <body><![CDATA[Armadale is a hard book to review, not least because it's almost like several books strung together. There are so many twists and turns and changes in pace and atmosphere that it's hard to pin it down, but also hard to put down. It's quite the quintessential sensation novel, with a beautiful villain...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65101639">more...</a>]]></body>

For him marriage is not the be all and end all: in fact it is often written as being fraught with danger.
