And a wee apology: Rebekah Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 01:11:12 PM
I studied this book as part of the Victorian Literature paper I took at university. I wrote a long essay on it, and it was my favourite book of that course.

Accordingly, I found it really difficult not to make this review sound like an academic essay, so I apologise if it does. It's not my best review. :P

It's pretty tame by modern standards. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/01/2011 05:17:03 PM 760 Views
It has been a while since I read it (should probably do something about that), but I think I agree. Camilla - 23/01/2011 01:23:10 PM 1624 Views
I have a copy here if you want to borrow. (I read it on my Kindle this time.) Rebekah - 23/01/2011 01:32:59 PM 1560 Views

Character wise, not geographically. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 05:46:49 PM 1418 Views
Always nice to see someone advocating terrorism. Michael - 25/01/2011 04:52:09 PM 1616 Views
Terrorism is a point of view. Cannoli - 03/02/2011 04:30:39 PM 1561 Views
You know, I have to agree with Cannoli, though without the all caps and the queen-fucking. Tom - 23/01/2011 10:48:36 PM 1581 Views
Of course. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 10:54:41 PM 1479 Views
I won't be as mad as Cannoli, or pedantic as Tom but it is an Irish novel Stephen - 23/01/2011 11:11:05 PM 1555 Views
Having an Irish writer does not an Irish novel make. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 11:15:02 PM 1507 Views
yes, but Camilla - 23/01/2011 11:15:55 PM 1422 Views
Ha, that's always the problem I have with epistolary novels Darth_Katie - 23/01/2011 05:15:58 PM 1406 Views
