I was riveted from the get-go and thoroughly enjoyed the plot throughout the book. I also appreciated the range of characters introduced throughout the book with one notable exception. I wish there had been more attention placed on the people of Shattock. Other than that, I thought they were are all very true to their time, place, wealth, education and upbringing.
The predictability that some lament in this book is the patriarchy. The patriarchy enacts itself in predictable ways because it works. It's not Moore's fault that patriarchal societies do what they do; her book was literally about the way the patriarchy ruined or harmed the majority of women in the book.
