Wow. What a book! I think I started to enjoy it more and more but I can understand why other readers had a hard time with it. (I had a point where I thought “shall I keep reading or not?” )
The characters are not likeable although I did start to like Eliza at the end. Book is hard , Life was hard back then and very dark.
One thing that separates me from other readers is that I had no expectations beforehand. I did not know what this book was going to be about so because of that I was not disappointed.
Of course after reading the first chapter of Mister Black’s journal, I put 2 and 2 together, the title also helped, :) and then i understood what it would be about.
Glad that I read it, but I would recommend lending this from the library instead of buying it cause you love it or hate it
