The beginning of this book is O.K. - a bit slow but readable. As it progresses, however, especially as you near the end, I found it impossibly boring, repetetive and uninteresting. An historical novel for t19th C audiences. A certain idea of "swashbuckling" I suppose. The only way it could be interesting would be in the context of sociological study of the 19th C bourgeoisie and what this book could tell you about their imagined lives....
Never did manage to finish it.
