"This book would probably be shunned today. Even though Humbert Humbert is clearly a villain, the very subject of pedophilia is now considered too transgressive. But Nabokov had to reach far in order to redeem the romantic novel, which had become trite."

A dark novel of love and revenge from the 1950's
An easy read that has you smiling one minute and frowning the next. Capturing the small town mentality from that era. Many personalities, a lot that would not easily nbe accepted. The child who is shunned and sent away has returned to ger her revenge on a vengeful town.
