Writing Style
The Eyre novels are marked by colourful characters and an atmospheric treatment of its Italian Renaissance setting. While some characters are clearly intended as comic relief, the humour is dry and unobtrusive. The stories themselves are carefully plotted and well thought out.

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or style:
“Scott took LITERATURE so solemnly. He never understood that it was just writing as well as you can and finishing what you start.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see around them so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
