Well, I finally finished this! I know I have read the beginning before - I love the opening with the forge, and the gravestones, Joe, the Tickler and the mysterious convict. It's so beautifully written. The language is just delicious - which is why it's endured so long, I am sure.
I started to struggle towards the end - the machinations of English society always wear on me. I definitely had to work through the last 100 pages but ah well, it's a good read and enjoyable on a quiet, winter's afternoon.
