That’s how it was then! Everything that grew took long to grow; and everything that ended took a long time to be forgotten. Everything that existed left behind traces of itself, and people then lived by their memories, just as we nowadays live by our capacity to forget, quickly and comprehensively.

I have been eyeing this novel for quite a while. I look forward to your thoughts.

So far it is a great novel imho. A mixture of 19th century's psychologic depth with a good dose of bitter irony of the latter time.
