I know I read this in 2006, because it was one of two English-language books I found in a Czech bookshop while I was studying abroad, but the only thing I remembered about it was Lady Pole's situation. I guess I wasn't able to concentrate on it properly at that time. At this different point in my life I was completely engrossed by this; I was particularly amazed by how layered, complex, and realistic the characters were.

This is a brilliant text, BRILLIANT. I absolutely love it for its complexities and characters. Also, since it is told in such a historical fashion with footnotes it won my heart. I recommend listening to the audio, that way the humor is highlighted. I cannot say enough of this, I recommend it to all who see themselves are readers because it is quite lengthy and worth every page.
This book is too hard to finish for now. I just can't get in to it. I shall try again another time this life.
