Comment:
I read it because it was an optional reading for my goddaughter and it was difficult to understand the era in which the story unfolds. It's nice reading a novel, with descriptions of the feelings, the way the artist embodies the feelings for the young maid in the picture. Good description of the time. In short, a good novel.
