Entertaining drama with a bit of a comment on intellectual socialism/communism vs the materialist take on it. I really liked the characters and I was pleasantly surprised at how fleshed out, flawed and complex without making them a moral lesson or warning, especially regarding the (two! female!) protagonists. I think that I would have very much loved to chat with Edward Morgan, tbh he's my best friend now.
Only beware of the slow pacing. I don't mind much as I listened to it in bits here and there, but I know that a lot of people don't like the more meandering classics and this definitely does so.
