Tara Sullivan

Classic but ...

Read for book club; entertaining and intriguing to a degree, but not that enjoyable. Wolf Larsen is a fantastic character.

Worth reading for the unique perspective.

Enjoyable but a bit contrived.

Not at all what I thought from the way the term is used now. Worth reading.

Good but not fabulous.

Loved the format of multiple stories separated by time; not sure how I feel about the characters, which is a good thing. Intriguing, definitely.

Another good one

If you like quirky and mysteries, you'll like this series. Plus I always learn some London history in each book.

Good story

Good story, appealing characters. Made me want to read the Rebecca West book and learn more about the history of the whole area.

This is an amazing read. Mind-bending, but in a good way. You may have to read it twice to absorb it all.

Quick , thoughtful read

If you're trying to “be” versus just “do” this is a helpful book. Not preachy or overly simplified, like many. The stories are all real and sound like it and the tone is sincere; the pace flows. Your intelligence won't be insulted and you'll finish reading with practical inspiration to take into the day. Three stars only because this isn't my standard genre.

Lovely writing

Beautiful style. Very visual and rhythmic. I didn't have strong feelings for the characters but that made it easier to read.

Another good one.

All her books are great. Good plots and entertaining characters. Nice when Agatha Troy is in the story as well.

Lovely! Wish there were more. Quirky but believable characters, good mystery, well written.

Fabulous! Her writing is magical and the story draws you in, even if you don't know much about Shakespeare.

Charming and confusing, enjoyable to a degree.

If you love France, this is for you. It will bring back memories, make you want to visit again, and most of all motivate you to enjoy each moment. We definitely tend to rush and worry, which defeats the joie de vivre that we could experience instead. More than a travel or how to book, this is about meaning in moments (and multiple aspects of French culture, from food to art to history to Francis Cabrel!)

Lovely at every reading, no matter the age.

Highly entertaining.

Enjoyable but a bit shallow.

Love this series. Really good if you like British mysteries and quirky characters.

Another great one, especially if you like words and quirks.

Quite good. Surprised I hadn't found this series earlier.

Amazingly prescient! Definitely should read.

Very good. I didn't finish because it all gets dark and sad after a while, but that was life.

Lovely! Very enjoyable.
