I could have sent it to you. Usually, even the English books disappear very quickly here. If I see it, I will pass by again today, I will take it back and send it to you.

She had an affair before meeting Edward. He seems to be quite a different character and cared for her long after their relationship ended. Let me know if you read the book. There are a lot of things to discuss.

When you get back to London you have to visit Highgate Cemetery (where I bought the book). It is a beautiful place, rather huge. On one side you can walk around by yourself (where Marx among other famous people are buried), and on the other side you need a guide. I wanted to see Christina Rosetti's tomb but it was not included in the tour. However, it was a very interesting tour with beautiful tombs and burying places. Well worth a visit.

I found it really sad. She deserved someone much better. I think her life was interesting though and she, more or less, did what she wanted to do.
