Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-27 00:00:00 Ralf Straub The story was a bit tedious starting with a flashback of a dying man on the days of his life. We hear about his education, his effeminate character, the brother, the successful father, his relationship to a close friend of his, Meunier. After his brother's death, mysterious Bertha is married to the protagonist of our story. She's a very mysterious and shady woman (liked the comparison to Cleopatra taken by the author). You always feel there is some mischief to come. But it takes endless pages until the tension sets in. The denouement is okay but nothing spectacular. The story itself is well written but a bit too slow for my liking. Recommended for all friends of a classic story though!
