One of my mum's favourite books, I finally got around to reading it myself. I enjoyed the story, but found myself shocked at the outstanding sexism in the way Jean is considered incapable of handling her own finances where her inheritance is concerned, but once she is married there's no problem because the man can deal with it all. Huh.
