this book was written 111 years ago in 1913. its writing style was a welcome challenge wrapped up in a compelling cast of characters who are not good people, but when together, are able to be beautifully defiant of their times.

I enjoyed reading this book. I may gave higher rating, however I watched film a week ago so I knew the story pretty well. That doesn't change the fact that it was a pleasant experience.
P.S. Oh how I would love to hug all these characters (and sent them to the therapy). The most heartbreaking part was when Maurice was thing about his homosexuality as a sin, something to be ashamed, punished for 🫂
