Comments:
I very rarely read classics but following my enjoyment of Rebecca, I have been delving into an occasional classic. Having received lots of recommendations, I decided to give this book a go. I am sorry to announce that I did not enjoy it at all. I am under no illusions, I am no literary expert, quite the contrary, I read what I enjoy.
In this story, I learned that I am not very good at translating 19th Century Yorkshire. I read a whole page (Joseph's speech) and it made no sense to me at all and I generally could not wait for the book to be over. It is a shame that I could not appreciate what is often referred to as a masterpiece, but I like what I like. I won't give up on classics though, Jane Austen next.
