What can I say? I love Jane Austen, and this is perhaps the most densely packed collection of the characteristics that make her writing her own. That being said, I just cannot bring myself to like the way she ends her stories, no matter how much I like the actual ending.

Although I enjoyed reading the story, I sometimes felt that it took an idealistic turn, especially toward the ending, and some actions the characters took really puzzled me (Mr. Carson simply going home and reading the Bible after finding out his only son's true killer and witnessing a minor example of forgiveness out on the street).
Where it shines is in the vivid and horrifying descriptions of poverty in 19th century industrial England. This novel focuses primarily on depicting both the outer and inner lives of selected working class people, and touches only briefly and rather unsatisfactorily on the views and motivations of the upper classes.

In my opinion, reading this is a must for anyone who is at least remotely interested in the psychology of sadism and/or masochism. Deleuze spends the entire length of the text essentially decoupling masochism and sadism, with a focus on masochism as it appears in the art of Masoch, and leaves no stone left unturned. I found myself agreeing with most of what was written and learning something in the process.

Obohacující okno do života mladé židovky se schizofrenií v amerických 50. letech 20. století. Některá probíraná témata jsou aplikovatelná ke zdravému přístupu k životu obecně, ale stoprocentně bych knihu doporučila jakémukoliv člověku, který se o zmíněná témata i okrajově zajímá. Ze začátku je poměrně matoucí se ve světě a pocitech protagonistky orientovat, což je ovšem pochopitelně opodstatněno.
