This was an excellent examination of the oppression of women and the working class. Being set in 1817, the depiction of entitlement should have felt antiquated, but it felt so relevant even today. There were moments when I had to sit back and admire Hazel's restraint in the face of such sexism. Every character felt so vivid and individual. My main complaint is that "Love Story" is part of the title, and yet we get very little love story. At least in the romantic sense. In a way this could also be the love story of a woman's love of education, helping others, and making a difference.
Moderate: Gore, Sexism, and Terminal illness
