A review by balletbookworm
Tom Jones by Henry Fielding

4.0

A rollicking Bildungsroman and road trip novel with a lot of digressions and asides. It takes 800 pages for everyone to show their true colors. The writing is a bit dense at times. Was really interested in the character of Aunt Western who, through a conversation with Sophia, reveals that she has remained single by choice (despite a number of proposals), and clearly enjoys herself unencumbered by a husband, which was a surprising two pages.
