Darkly witty, twisted and riveting. The odours are skilfully written through vivid descriptions. The book becomes more and more compelling as you follow the story and the scenes in the end are just one of the most powerful scenes I’ve read in a novel. Would read again.

Not a book for everyone, but if you have a goth soul, a soft spot for the 18th century, and stories of cruelty and beauty, this is an exceptional book. Opulent in every aspect of it, it comes across as a classic despite its age.

i particularly enjoyed all the vivid descriptions, and how much they stand out in contrast with the dark storyline and characters!

You can love or hate this book. I find the style excellent, though I've heard many say it's too overloaded with description. The plot, though I found to be weak, specially towards the end.
