I think that's a very good description. I enjoyed the book too.

Yes, the pace is starting to pick up now, and/or I'm getting used to the odd vocabulary and context (which I suppose is the point of those first chapters). I'm still reading it, and alternating with North and South which is just fascinating in its description of life and class struggles in the North of England in the mid-19th century. Very far from Jane Austen, and not as well written but very very interesting.
