I agree, it is so perfectly set in its time, and the writing is so beautifully done.

Numerous times, I've picked up one of her books, convinced myself I'd never be able to sit through such a complicated read, and put the book back on its shelf in the store. <br /><br />I'm glad to read your review, and to learn that her work is actually understandable. Thought provoking doesn't have to mean incomprehensible, right? Right. So I think I'll add this to my to-read list, for when I am in the mood to delve into a novel and put my mind to work.

She really has something to say with every book. That being said, I haven't read all of them but the ones I've read have required some thought.
