The characters in that book were so much stranger that I had expected for the location and time period it was set in!
(Also, I had the same exact edition when I read it like 20 years ago. I try not to judge a book by its cover, but I definitely remember 'em by that.)
@jztusk @bookstodon
Yeah, I agree, truly strange. I also found it curious to see that in an earlier story the narrator was aware of the harmful health effects of smoking when, as I have read elsewhere, there wasn't such general public knowledge until much more mid-20th century. Dislike of smoking was more 'vice' shaming prior to that.
