This book was on my list of books to read. It's referenced enough when talking about revenge and I felt like it was something I should add to my reading list. It took me almost a year to get through it, but once I picked it back up, I really enjoyed it. 
 In addition, it got me the first bit of progress in my 2016 Reading Challenge. I'm reserving the right to either count it as the originally published in another language or the before 1850, depending on how my reading goes!
