A review by laurenjpegler
Esther Waters by George Moore

4.0

I really really liked this! I love reading Victorian book that look at fallen women - their destitution, their shame, their life, etc. Every Victorian author has something different say on the matter, and I really liked Moore’s sympathetic portrayal of the figure. Esther was such a lovely character to follow, and her life was far from easy. A brill read.

Just felt the last 100 pages or so were a little dull - when she had settled, the horse racing narrative just grew a little boring and repetitive.
