This is difficult to read without finding it condescending, didactic & t boring.
I understand the idea of parable and didactic style but that’s the thing it contains no style. There is no story telling just adding the slight melodrama of Victorian times and a ‘romance’. Full of flat characters and attempting to emulate Austen and Dickens and failing badly. I’m hoping I can grow to appreciate this book.
