I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)
Actual review closer to 2.5 stars. I struggled with this. The story and the characters didn't grab me and keep my attention. It felt like something was missing for me.
While the story manages to bring to live what it set out to do - a more intimate and truthful vision of what it could have been like to be a freak in Victorian London - the personal destinies of the main characters fell flat for me. Besides that, the feminist twist the writer gives the trajectories of those same characters seems contrived to say the least. Having said that, the novel sheds a much-needed light on a lesser known era and experience.
This book was just simply put BRILLIANT. The writing was gorgeous and the plot so interesting. I didn't like all the characters but that is ok I quite like not liking characters lol can't wait to read more from this author!
