Relating the story of an aristocratic family falling to ruin is not new, and this novel is a bit too verbiose. Big gaps in plot occur as the author skips over years and lands into another character's perspective, and you have to fill in some gaps on your own. This could have used another round of editing before publication to make it tighter. The characters are delightful and fully developed, but the plot staggers and falters at times.
