This is a well written, very descriptive read. All the characters and their observations were very detailed. I also liked seeing Dona's perceptions of characters differ to how they actually were when they appeared on the page.
I felt that the author didn't respect the institution of marriage and motberhood and this really shows in Dona's thoughts and actions. However, Dona's desire for connection and dissatisfaction with life was well written.
The Frenchman was similar to Dona in his quest for freedom and adventure that fell outside of society norms.
This wasn't my favourite book to read, but that could be because of the books I have been recently looking for.
I would recommend this book for the character description/perception mentioned above and for those who like predictive romance.
