I have never in my life read a book with such well-written characters. Despite the great reviews, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but I’ve fallen in love with all the complexities of the Cazalets. There is admittedly 0 plot but it’s such a great character case study that I was still absorbed throughout.
