There is a huge gap between analysing P&P, as we did last year, and The painted veil. However it is reading a not-so-good book that makes you concern about the quality of a good one. Afer this, we have read Great Expectation, and the difference is more than noticeable.

It was quite surprising to know that he lived with a Manchu princess.
