    Simply Beautiful — 22 weeks ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    Reading Dubliners reminds me just how much I love James Joyce. I haven’t quite wrapped my head around all of the stories yet, but it’s Joyce, so it typically takes a couple of reads to really begin to get anything from it. By far, “The Dead,” was the best story in the collection. Never have I read a book with a more beautiful poignant ending: “His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”

    Food for the soul that is.

    I wanted to love this novel — 25 weeks ago

    Because I loved A Room With a View and Howards End so much. However, the end of the novel falls short. The last few chapters are anti-climatic and a bit on the boring side.

    Incredibly didactic — 26 weeks ago

    This book was more Grant Allen’s treatise on marriage in the late nineteenth-century than a novel. However, in the end, the novel reluctantly conforms to nineteenth-century standards of morality which leaves the ending a bit ambiguous.

    Ultimately, the debate over whether this is a feminist or anti-feminist novel more intriguing than the novel itself.
