This one is too much work for me. Bailed at page 50. It isn‘t that it is poorly written of course, or that there aren‘t moments that I thoroughly enjoyed. I can see how it pushed various boundaries at the time and explores concepts of love, sexuality, partnership and imperial England. However I don‘t particularly care about the people nor how the rest of the day turns out. Clarissa‘s exclamation of “utterly base” was a favoured moment.
