Clever indeed! The author patiently sculpted the narrative with beautiful imagery and sensual artistry on an English estate. I found it to be purposeful, from cover to cover. It stands out as a significant work of art compared to contemporary literature which is mostly superficial. There are penetrating themes that lie beneath the story lines: shame, guilt, cognitive development, truth, perception, social class, forbidden love, and more. I will savor this novel for years to come.
