One thing that intrigues me about the narrator is the footnotes. They don't seem to be written by the same person as the main text (the narrator is omniscient but the footnoter clearly isn't)—is it a mysterious previously-lost novel from the 1830s that someone rediscovered, footnoted and published in 2004?
Was that a Brontë sisters joke? ;)
:D I mean, the three daughters and one son of a Yorkshire clergyman who all take up the same profession—that's definitely a cheeky reference, although they're thirty years or so earlier than in real life.
