I got this book in a mystery bag so it's not something I would normally pick up. The final scene confused me and overall I'm not really sure what the message was supposed to be. The disconnected flow sometimes had me lost because I couldn't remember when a previous incident happened or who the characters involved were. But there were passages that I thought were really unique and evocative of distinct feelings and/or were incisive observations of class dynamics. That's what gives it 3 stars for me. But the plot itself was...interesting. My brain can't come up with any other way to describe my thoughts right now lol.

This book is set at the turn of the twentieth century, and if you told me it was written then, too, instead of literally a century later, I would have believed you. The writing was stylized in a way that seems remote and detached, and I have a hard time engaging that way.

After a strange and slow start, things get interesting.
