So beautifully human. There are glimpses of everyone that you delve into at some point where you fully understand them. Clarissa with her perfectionism and love for life as well as Richard and Peter with their shyness that prevents them for showing their love. My main fascination was with Septimus' and Lucrezia's relationship and Rezia's thoughts on love.
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.
