I'd really like to give this book 3 1/2 stars, because I more than just liked it; on the other hand, I did think it was a difficult novel to get through, and I would hesitate to recommend it. I'm ... Read full review

I wanted to read this for a while, after hearing, "If you love Downton Abbey, read Ford!" If that wasn't enough, Benedict Cumberbatch will be starring in the Masterpiece movie version. BUT...I could ... Read full review
