Ik zou dit niet lezen als beginner. Je moet een basiskennis hebben van de cultuur en maatschappij uit die tijd. 

Het is een zeer beschrijvend verhaal.

Ook heel vaag in veel momenten, zeker het begin had ik telkens het gevoel alsof ik een heel stuk gemist had. Maw is het aan de ene kant uitgebreid beschreven en aan de andere kant verwarrend vaag.

Onderwerpen als klasse, arbeidsrecht, sociaal recht, arm vs rijk, vrouwenrechten, overlijden en rouw, opofferingen, levenskeuzes, naastenliefde, geloof, trots en vooroordelen.

I really was looking for an Austen-esque period piece and so this perfectly scratched that itch for me. I thought it was overall very pleasant and compelling, I really enjoyed the cast of characters and felt that for a book from this time they were fairly multi dimensional.
