Read this in a day with the help of an audio book which I think really added to capturing the language it was written in.

The story is very moving and I liked the writing style with the use of letters throughout to create a very intimate narrative.

This was clearly a novel written ahead of its time and was just a very harrowing tale. At times it felt a little disjointed but think that did add to the narrative of it all but overall enjoyed it. 

I think this would have been much slower to read had I not had the audio book as the language writing style did take some getting used to.
