Indeed a good sequel to gobble up if you are already a fan of Sally Rooney's works. However, for other audiences this book might serve to further dissemination of characters in a way that is confusing and unnatural. Addicionaly, the ending was quiet underwhelming and left me with a bitter taste to remember this book by. This book is best when read as a palate cleanser.

Beautiful display of the aristocratic lifestyle in the late comings of the Italian question. The author decorates his story in a pelt deserving of a stunning leopard.

Worth the read if you like Dostojewski's writing style. Additionally, great religious and economic critique
