My first Dickens novel—and I get it now. There are so many fantastically done elements in this novel. The heartbreaking father-daughter relationship. Edith and her feminine rage and pride. All the endearing side characters. Little Paul and what the sea was always saying to him. I could go on.

However, after 3 weeks and 950 pages, with a tear-stained face, I am very happy to say it’s finally over lol.

Actual rating: 3.75
