I've started reading Freedom & Necessity by Steven Brust and Emma Bull. Its been slow going, partly because I'm taking my time savouring the prose, but mostly because I've been very busy with reading for classes and sundry other things.
Still, its a delightful read so far. Its an epistolary novel set in 1849 and mixes a good dose of radical politics, history, Victorian manners, philosophy and (so far some hints of) gothic mystery. It sounds a promising blend but one that is surely difficult to stew into palatable reading. So far its succeeding wonderfully. Will probably post more on this when I'm finished reading.
