Still in the middle of this but enjoying it so much! It reads a little like Charles Dickens. The characters, their childhoods, and their stories are amazing. And while I feel like I had a good history education, my civil war era US history was a little sketchy, so I am learning a lot. Example: I knew nothing about the Sewards, who were such an interesting and (so far) admirable NY family.
