Historical novel in the style of books like Gone with the wind. The blurb sold me the story of how Pride makes a name for himself with letting the romance seem like a subplot, while actually the unhealthy relationships with his wife and mistress are very much in the foreground of the book. While the narrative is quite sentimental at times, the relationships can be seen as frustrating and the female roles are totally outdated, I really enjoyed it myself. The writing was nice, the historical background was fascinating and the author somehow managed to make me care for some characters. Near the ending, some aspects, like the introduction of a new character, felt kind of rushed and not that necessary, but still I mostly liked the conclusion.
