Here's what I wrote after reading in 1991: "Slow reading but insightful into the 'moral and social' problems of Fielding's England. Amelia and William Booth endure the trials of marriage but finally find security and happiness through pure, Christian living. They (he) overcome many trials and temptations along the way." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This is a novel that doesn't flag because it is full of incident and crises. Fielding acknowledges female good sense and courage in the face of the trials the family is faced with, largely a result of Billy's gambling, borrowing and inability to face up to responsibilities.
One has to say "Thank goodness for a well regulated banking system". Billy's problems would have been much eased if it were not for unscrupulous borrowing from so-called friends.
