Since reading “Pay Attention, Carter Jones!”, I’ve had a liking of classic English butlers. This book is solidifying that.
The writing us very precise and intentional, but it doesn’t feel forced.
I’m very much emoting getting a peek inside the mind of someone with an experience so different from my own.

I’m really enjoying this. It almost feels like an unreliable narrator story, but because the book shows the inside of someone’s mind very accurately, and as humans we aren’t reliable narrators. We misrepresent things to ourselves, withholding pieces of the truth either because we don’t fully realize them yet or are not willing to admit them.
