I probably wouldn't have finished it if I hadn't been a captive audience -- I was at a workshop for 6 hours, 5 hours of which were spent waiting for the next station. The times were different, but it's still creepy for a thirty-something guy to fall in love with a 13-year-old and then wait a few years to marry her.
Also, they talk a lot about how lovely the protagonist/narrator is, and how incredible Van Eyck is for capturing her beauty. Do you SEE the face on the girl in the painting? Maybe this was a time when weak chins were considered desirable?
