Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Ms. Boylan's discription of Victorian London truly makes it come alive for the reader. Her sense of character development is among the best of writers.
The story is a haunting, sort of mystery/adventure, which addresses much of the social issues of the time. Though I was much impressed with Ms. Boylan's storyline, character development, sense of place and her superior writing skills, it makes me mourn the untimely loss of Charlotte Bronte at what might have been the peak of her literary talent.
I highly recommend this book by Ms. Boylan, especially if you enjoy the 'period' writings of the Bronts sisters, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Wilkie COllins, Edith Wharton, Henry James and/or Mark Twain.
