Iโ€™m really enjoying โ€˜Fortunata and Jacintaโ€™. This particular translation makes it seamless to read. Iโ€™m not far off 100 pages through it, and while it has an abundance of characters, it is easy to follow. Nobody seems to talk about this book. #CurrentlyReading #FortunatandJacinta https://t.co/BRVAFdS98D
