I love over-the-top romanticism and traaaagedy, plus I like peeking into such a different worldview, so four stars.
Though a word to the wise - I like this novel as much for being a historical curiousity as its merits as a work of fiction (to modern eyes, it can seem prosy and drawn-out, but to me, the leisurely unfolding is part of its charm).
