   Is the Essex Serpent a good book?

   • The Essex Serpent is a magnificent work that uses the form of the Gothic novel to explore real-world and very human concerns.

The nature and limits of friendship, the moral limits of medicine.

   What does Essex look like in the serpent craze?

   • Essex has her bride’s gown on: there’s cow parsley frothing by the road and daisies on the common, and the hawthorn’s dressed in white; wheat and barley fatten in the fields, and bindweed decks the hedges.
