“I've yet to understand why I liked this book so much as I did. It's written very simply -- this short novella spans nearly two years. It's got a simple storyline -- it's late XIX century, and a man from West End impregnates an East End girl. The only reason this book was ever printed in 1950s Russia is because Engels wrote a letter to Harkness and mentioned how he liked it.
I seem to have liked it too, very much, but I have no idea why.”
