5 stars As much as I love Victorian literature I was having difficulty with this book throughout the first section. After discussing the matter with another reader, I approached the book as though it was written by a French author such as Victor Hugo, instead of an English author. After that menta...
'Adam Bede' was wonderful. It was lush and evocative of the late 18th century and intensely psychological in a way I wasn't expecting at all. In 19th century literature it is so easy to lose sight of how most people lived, spending so much time with the gentry and high-stakes players of the era, wit...
This book really grew on me. Even though it was written in 1871, it still contained lots of zingers that resonate even now (such as women being more mindful about their usefulness to their husbands than vice-versa and people being better than their neighbours think they are).

Dennoch schafft es George RR Martin scheinbar mühelos, eine Geschichte zu erzählen, di...

This is a strange little book. It is the story of a poor Reverend in a small English town who causes a scandal when a spoiled Countess moves into his house. The book is more like a collection of incidents than a cohesive story, especially in the beginning.I didn't enjoy this book as much as I enjoye...
