Reviews
beautifully read and an interesting character study
dsuden
As usual, Arnold Bennett’s writing is wonderful. This is a somewhat odd story, and doesn’t have a lot of dramatic twists and turns, because it is primarily I’ll look into the lives of some interesting people. It’s a fairly long story, and just carry you along in a nice way.
a study of character
Shelly
The characters are all brought to vivid life by Bennet's wonderful observation of the different quirks of thought and behaviour . Although long, the story held my interest from start to finish. The reader is excellent and the different voices enhance each character.
Vivien
Perceprive psychological study of a miserly bookseller, his unfortunate wife, and their kind servant, the only survivor of the peculiar household. Excellently narrated.
Melanie
This is a wonderful story- very sad in some ways but a great feat of human story telling.
Touching story, well read
