Why I’m giving it a 3 out of 5 comes down to the fact that this worth a read if you have the time and brain power to dedicate to following along with it. And there are no chapter breaks. And there are a lot of trigger warnings to be wary of!

Scenes and thoughts I found particularly interesting include Peter seeing Clarissa after coming back from India, Richard buying flowers, Rezia making a hat and the end where Peter and Sally conversate. It's a read that it quite difficult to get into but as you continue, it becomes something that you don't really need to fully understand and that just to appreciate is good enough.
