I have a copy of this book at home and was considering reading it after I finish off Anna Karenina. Is this good, Maddy?

Hi Liam, yes it’s a masterpiece, highlighting human nature at its worst and at its best. There are quite a few different plots all happening at once which I have really enjoyed. I’m actually working my way through all of his books.

Would this be a good place to start?

Yes, definitely as it’s a stand alone book. Great on to start with. Last year I read his Barset series of six books, which were great except I did make the mistake of reading other books in between. He always has a large cast of characters who are usually related or have some form of association.
