Pleasure

Really quite tormenting to read this, as Andrea the main character is a rich shallow a-hole who is really treating women more like a precious peace of art that are out there to get than a human being. really like Downtown Abbey or what is the series called..

But then again, it really is beautifully written and captures something essential from a world long gone, what comes to rich bachelors who invest in Money in Art, Time in Poetry and all else on women and ridiculous pride.

But there might come a time in a 100+ years when people read some such “difficult love” story from our time and think ‘Goddammit, those people knew nothing but how to care about nonsensical issues and making life difficult for themselves.'
