Look, I'm sure this was interesting and revolutionary in the 1860s or whenever this sort of writing was last considered good/interesting but reading this in 2020, I am appalled at how shallow, trite and downright cringey this book was. I hate-read the whole thing and will probably rant about my (least) favorite parts later. For now, suffice it to say, unless you count aisle romance or Sidney Sheldon books as your personal favorites, do yourself a favor and give this one a wide berth.

Excessively long and pointlessly wordy

There might be a half decent plot buried somewhere in this book but sadly it's hidden beneath needless verbosity - it's like the author has swallowed a thesaurus. The editor is as much to blame as the writer - cutting all the pointless and repetitive description would make for a much better book.
