So, this is one of the books when someone asks me which one is my favourite!
I love going back to it and reading random chapters, it’s such a great book to shun overthinking and go back to happy times instantly like it’s a portal.
I first read this about ten years ago and hated it. I thought too many characters were cruel and the loss of Mrs tullivers furniture a great calamity. However rereading it now was a completely different experience. It is beautifully written and the characters seem real people rather than cruel stereotypes. The ending was a bit sudden and I would much rather have had a happy ending but tom and Maggie's fate was signalled throughout. It seems that the mood one is in really alters how a book is perceived. This stands as a great reminder that we can be our own worse enemies.
