Die Wahlverwandtschaften

I read the 1809 novel “Elective Affinities” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe last week.

I really loved the characters, became engrossed in the story and was very upset by the ending.  It is a very powerful story but really depressing.  The abstract concept of chemical equations dominating human chemistry was lost on me.  Don’t read this book or you’ll cry. ** out of *****.
