I once tried to write an essay about one of her books, without reading the book- because I couldn’t force myself through it. Unsurprisingly it didn’t go well.
I love Dickens though (in reference to the other comment, not because I think they’re similar.)
Oh god. It was awful. I also slogged through it until the end as I’d invested time reading so much of it.
I was recommended it by several people I’d trust to recommend a good book- who had finished it…I was so confused.
