There is a sense of fake melodrama in this book, which I cannot imagine being part of my day-to-day life. It will have been for the readers in the age that the book was published.
As I couldn't get a feel for the context, it wasn't an enjoyable read for me. I remember having voted for it and I don't regret reading this book, but it's not for me: too many unexplicable happenings, sighs, looks, gloomy gothic atmosphere......
As I said before 'I feel myself educated'.
