This afternoon I finished listening to an audio version of this book, narrated by Rosalyn Landor. The novel was tragic in its own way, but deeply enthralling. It revolves around the character of Barbara Alderley, a 15-year-old headstrong, beautiful noblewoman whose love for a man 27 years her senior pushes the plot line forward. From that infatuation a world of passion and sorrow comes forth - beginning with her mother's self-serving attempt to arrange their marriage, then pausing in lascivious life ... Read More

It is definitely a great read, but you might become angry with the author if you are expecting some grand love story. This book doesn't have a happy ending, but life doesn't always have a happy ending, does it? I would describe Through a Glass Darkly as a story about life.

This was an historical, emotional read. I loved it...every page.
It brings the entire background of life in that period so that you

With about 100 pages to go, I just realized that I didn't give a darn about any of the characters or what happens to them. I just put the book down. I felt like it was mostly a waist of time. The characters are so UNLIKABLE!!! There is not one character in the book that had any redeeming qualities, they were all selfish and dull.

Though I love long books and historical fiction, I must say at first I was a little intimidated by this books 741 pages. Even the first 100 pages were ordinary, and I almost put it down and did not pick it back up.
For some reason, though, I kept on going, because I despretely wanted to see Babara married to Roger. I am so glad I did because I soon found myself flying through at least a hundred pages a day, until I finished the book this morning. What an amazing book!
