It was a wonderful journey through excellent language and multilayered narration. In the beginning I saw the characters rather like prompts for an exploration of objects and how they influence people's life, language being the main issue. But as the story developed, I got used to every character, started feeling empathy and fell in love with a few.
I admire the beauty of this novel and wish it lasted a bit longer. When I tapped the next page on my Kindle and saw that the book had come to the end, I could hardly believe it was over.
I'm so happy that I read it slowly, going back and re-reading some pages, yet I'm sure I've missed a substantial part of what Mrs Byatt had put in her novel. I'm sure that when I read it next time (I definitely will), I'll get even more pleasure and will discover new issues she wanted her readers to think over.
