What a melodramatic rollercoaster ride and I enjoyed every minute.
Dr. Sloper is the coldest, unmoving monolith of a father. No one is spared from his articulate and analytical observations, not even his sister, Mrs. Lavinia Penniman, or his daughter, Catherine.
The things this man said about his daughter gave me chills. With a father like that, who needs enemies.
I wish he would've pointed his ruthlessness at his sister a little more because my goodness! That woman was hilariously insufferable. I almost threw the book down a few times when she wedged her nose where it didn't belong countless times, and still thought herself a hero to lovers everywhere.
What a fun read with meticulous insight into the rules of social class and finances of the time.
