Light and fun so far. But while I loved Victorian reads as a child, I'm increasingly ambivalent about them. I fall back on them when I need something familiar and comforting. But they are just too far-removed from real life for cynical old me. The sexism and classism / elitism constantly on display is beginning to irk me quite a bit. I still love Trollope's droll wit, unfailingly on display.
