I read this first as a teenager. Makes more sense when you're a grown-up, and it's deliciously vicious and cruel under the "costume drama" façade. Loved the descriptions of the stifling NY society. Oh, by the way, it's one of the rare books which were transposed into a movie with perfect results.

Magnificent. Brilliantly captures how society's conventions interfere with individual desires, and the hypocrisy and irony that are a part of this.

I read this for a Modern Lit course in College. I really really liked this book. It had a real twisted story and some sexual bits... which of course makes for an excellent read. Tie that in with some family frustrations and a little death and its fabulous. I think I will reread this one day.
