I've put it on my tablet so I can read it at night before bed, it's certain to put me to sleep.
Hang on, Synamon, I had the same. The first two chapters are full of strange things and a boring family tree, but that's just setting the scene. Like building a decor for a play.
In the third chapter the story begins to roll and the sentiments and gossip does not differ that much from this day.
