I thought it was good. The plot was a little tenuous at times - there were a lot of fortuitous chances, double-crossings, secret and forgotten knowledge, etc. It got a little hard for me to take seriously when you get to the point in the second part about the babies being switched. It was a little too much. But I liked the characters a lot, more than enough to make up for it.

I got a little bit of a Wilkie Collins vibe especially in the first part, with the extreme amount of doublings, and the weirdo uncle obsessed with drawings and books keeping the young lady penned up in the house, and the atmosphere. It diminished somewhat going further on, but it was definitely there. I think in general I liked the parts at Briar a lot more than the parts in London. More atmospheric, I guess.

e: also it's completely juvenile but every time someone said "fuck" I was delighted. It was great. That really entertained me.
