    I have read Roses story and loved it repeatedly and continuously, but this tale is of a whole other level! L.M. Alcott paints in this work, Jean Muir as an Anti-heroine reckless and flawed; but enticing at the same time. It is simultaneously fascinating and horrifying to witness the clever foresight and quick wit, with which she succeeds in her immoral yet enticing endeavour. All in all it was a pleasure to read this piece painting a woman as both cunning and vulnerable, villainous and loveable. Jean Muir is one of the characters, i have had the utmost pleasure reading about.
