I waited to read this after IMTS, because I wanted to be able to relax and enjoy it. I usually spend a day on a novel, and that feels rushed a lot of times, so I took two days and read this.

I certainly lack the literary talent to do justice to Kim’s work. What I can say, is that this represents what I imagine is a very accurate vignette of victorian life. if you don’t have it, buy it and read it now. If that doesn’t interest you, you’re probably some kind of an unedumacated philistine.
