After a few tries, I finally managed to read the whole thing!
It was quite good - I'd definitely recommend it, even if it did sort of drag in certain parts. It was a great example of life in the period, though, because the characters' hobbies and what exactly they *do* all day was explained more than other books I've read.
The story itself is classic - my only qualm is that it's soooo much angsting and waffling and then the happy endings come in the last two chapters. ...more

I FINALLY got through this and have no idea why I was ever able to put it down in the first place!
