This was so fun to watch 😄 So pleased that you adored The Odd Women. It is very E.M. Forster - I hadn’t thought of that before!

I love Our Mutual Friend! I read it for the first time last year after watching the BBC miniseries as a kid and loving it. I think that was an ideal combination because I was familiar enough with the characters to not get super confused but I had completely forgotten most of the plot. I think you would really enjoy the miniseries - it’s great!

I love Our Mutual Friend, but Bleak House remains my favorite. I did not "listen" to Dickens until 2019 when Miriam Margolyes narrated Bleak House! Even if you have read Bleak House you will be amazed at how wonderful it is to listen to this narrator.

Fingersmith is one of my all time fav books, but I did NOT enjoy The Thirteenth Tale. I read a ton of gothic historical fiction, and the 13th Tale I found to be quite boring tbh. I never did connect with the characters or feel immersed in the setting. So many people love it, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get on with it haha.

I didn’t find it boring I think, I still can’t quite put my finger on it. I love that you enjoyed Fingersmith though!

I loved Gissing's The Nether World but I certainly would never have said his writing reminded me of Forster, but I feel it's more like Hardy with a touch of Dickens. I hope to read Gaskell's North And South soon in conjunction with Dickens' Hard Times(which is the only reread of his works for me as I hadn't read anything else before Emma and Carolyn's Dickens v Tolstoy, overlapping with Katie's mega Dickens read along.

I read Our Mutual Friend a couple of years ago and then reread it recently! I personally liked it but my only problem was trying to remember all of the characters and who was who. Besides that, it's a really good read!
