I'm liking it a lot, just worried that the author has missed the boat on Tristan's motivations..if the only reason he did what he did was to get Vianne, then he isn't redeemable. There has to be something more..

I am loving this book! Holy Moses. Such gentle, captivating storytelling.

Others: boring descriptions of baccarat, and demeaning views of women? No! The baccarat was indeed daunting, but I was caught up in the tenseness. Bond's sexist remarks are tempered with a self-awareness. And Mathis! "Englishmen...are like a nest of Chinese boxes. It takes a very long time to get to the centre of them. When one gets there the result is unrewarding, but the process is instructive and entertaining."
