I am disappointed that I didn't enjoy this, but the matter-of-fact tone and the relatively fast paced writing, focused almost entirely on the worst and least interesting characters in the story, made me lose interest very quickly. Whilst I understand the point of this story in criticising English 'morality', Victorian society fiction just doesn't do it for me. I have very little interest in reading about rich people bickering and making bad decisions, especially when I feel entirely disconnected from them.
