Reader comments
The writing style of this book is very real and the writing style is very delicate, which made me feel the social scene of that era. Through Anna's story, the author profoundly exposes the hypocrisy and greed of the nobles and clergy. I think this is not only a novel about love tragedy, but also a criticism of social reality. As a housewife, I can learn a lot about human nature and life. I recommend everyone to read this book.
