Ivy

I really enjoyed this one! It's very “Charles Dickenish” and set in one of my favorite periods (Victorian England.) The story begins with Ivy as a young girl and we follow her into adulthood as she gets into and out of trouble, meeting a cast of fun and quirky characters along the way. The only criticism I have about the book was it's ending. It seemed very abrupt and had me scratching my head over the inclusion of a couple characters whose presence didn't really add anything to the story.Overall though a very good read and I look forward to reading more from this author!
