An interesting recap on life in Victorian England. This is not a strictly chronological biography. It feels more like very rational diary entries loosely following her life, and I think that's what made it interesting to me.
The little things, the weird thoughts one never dares to speak, the factually most mediocre situations that, for some reason, stay most vividly in her memory. Those tell so much more about what kind of person she was than anything else. They also make it painfully obvious how different the life in her time was. No recognition of her privileges and very interesting opinions on "the youth" and the developement of the world in general. It's to be expected of course, but still was an eye-opener.
All in all, I am glad I have read her autobiography. Definitely a good read, narrative-wise.
