Ok, I read to page 127 and then skipped around as I could not yet find anything that made me want to keep reading. Maybe my problem is that I never liked the book, "Wuthering Heights" (yes I suffered and read the whole thing), so that is probably why I didn't like this one. Not my cup of tea?Yes, it was descriptive and the characters were different. But I just didn't find anything in the characters to identify with so they seemed "flat", not real, to me. So, then I didn't like the characters, so I didn't care about them. Plenty of description of the settings, but I felt it too wordy, not really pulling me in.Less is more? I think if it was maybe 180 pages as opposed to 400, it would have had more substance for me, a little more intense. But I just couldn't get into it. My neighbor was reading the book and felt the same way as I.So if you are thinking of buying the book, perhaps go to the library and read a few pages and see if it grips you or not.
