My 32nd book finished in 2023.
I picked this book up in a hostel in Mexico City. I spent two months reading it on and off in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, New York City, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Da Nang. I left it in a book cafe in Hoi An, Vietnam.
I really REALLY disliked this book. It was so painfully slow and dry. Turns out I really hate Dickens as an author. I was going to give it one star, but at least it had some form of plot, unlike another recent read of mine. My first and last Dickens novel, for sure
