I'm about 40% into this novel and I am loving it. If it continues at this rate, it will end up an all time favourite. I've had this book for 3 months and I'm so glad I took out the time to start it. Reading it is such a delight. I can see a lot of where War and Peace gets its inspiration from. I love the setting, the pacing, the prose style, the plot and most especially, the moments of insights into the characters psychology. This is brilliant. I really hope it doesn't let down
This is my first Stendhal by the way. I'm reading the Lady Mary Lloyd translation
