This is a great novel, full of history, but never boring. There is love and affairs, but never too graphic. I don’t know much about WW1, so it’s nice to know about it, even though it’s not an important part of the story. And I especially like the last chapter, where they explain what reality is and where freedom has been exercised. Great novel, very interesting.

I love this book and all it deals with. Fanny’s rejection, saved by the woman’s love and kindness, saw her rough start. Her determination in life to not only settle down for her proper “station” in life has created a life beyond her dreams. Life was difficult for her. It’s unbearable for her to love someone she can’t have. Overcoming many obstacles in life, she finally achieved what she wanted.
