Mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's masterfully written and the characters practically spring off the pages and kept me flipping pages. On the other, it's a high society story and the secular fripperies and marital infidelities and constant drinking aren't exactly pleasant to read about. Then a serious tragedy occurs to the hero and he in the end finds meaning in heavenly things.

However, it's a Catholic-only kind of heavenly. A frank belief that only in the Catholic faith can one find real peace and religion. I can't agree with that despite being glad the hero has begun to seek God.
