I initially picked up this book, hoping for an easy and enjoyable read on a rainy day. However, it turned out to be a more extended journey, taking me over a week to complete. The story kicks off rather slowly, with little of note occurring in the beginning. It’s only towards the end that the narrative starts to gain momentum, with an abundance of events unfolding, perhaps more rapidly than I would have preferred. Nonetheless, it remains an endearing tale, punctuated by moments of genuine charm.
