One of those Canadian classics I was expecting to dislike, but it was actually a bit more subtle than I was expecting (not by much though) and I enjoyed it. The story kept heading in the direction of sustaining too much tension while being too boring, but somehow it kept taut enough that although I couldn‰ЫЄt wait for that tension to release, I stayed interested. Not something I would recommend to anyone unless they were really into Thomas Hardy. It‰ЫЄs that kind of book. And I used to love me some Thomas Hardy.
