2.5

Read this for uni and was pleasantly surprised. It's quite a compelling gothic story which doesn't get too bogged down as a lot of 18c. fiction does, though it suffers from the switch to epistolary form halfway through.

We’ll take it as the exemplary 2.5 - a novel executed quite well but not brilliantly in a genre I don’t really like.
