“On the reading list, this is a classic book that I hadn’t heard of and probably wouldn’t have sought out. It’s short, but I didn’t get very far through it before I had to give up. I just didn’t know what was going on and couldn’t follow the story at all. Perhaps it’s because I was under the weather, or perhaps it was just in a style that didn’t suit me, I don’t know. Unfortunately, I didn’t get on with this one and will have to chalk it up as unfinished.”
