Loved this book from start to finish, completely absorbed in the romantic, sophisticated language we sadly don't greet so much nowadays, when reading it I didn't identify with the theories and views that have been implied regarding bram stoker battling issues with his own sexuality, instead I got the impression the author was full of the purest of confidence and securities concerning relationships and friendship. Mystery is what gripped me from page one ,concerning every character especially the count for he's the only one who does not provide his thoughts in fact on paper. Very clever writing and has made my eyes widen to how fortunate and lucky we are able to assist mental health issues today.
