The family is very much of old money, and were founders of the free states - a group of states who have broken away, still connected to the wider United States, but differing from the ‘Southern Colonies’ and ‘The West.’ The main character is David Bingham, an orphan who lives with his Grandfather. The first is set in in Washington Square, New York. Ok, so with that out of the way - ‘To paradise’ is in three sections, that take place in 1893, 19. I can say it was difficult but memorable and I don’t think I’ll be forgetting it for a while yet, especially the third part. Some of the writing was entrancing, and some of the stories immersive. Did I enjoy it? I’m not sure if you could say that. The middle story in particular felt like it would never end, for reasons I’ll expand on. Not that I will forget the book, I’m just not sure what I think about it. Still, it’s fresh in my mind after reading it for nearly three weeks and if I don’t write something now, I might find it more difficult as time goes on.
I’ve finished ‘to paradise’ about ten hours now and yet it feels early for a book review.
