Little

A delightfully macabre retelling of Madam Tussaud's life. One thing to note is that since this is still the tale of an actual human life, as eventful as it was, the story doesn't really follow a traditional story structure. Which meant that I made a long pause in the reading around the middle of the book due to its pacing. But once I picked the book back up, it didn't take long to dive back in - Edward Carey knows what to do with words.

Torn between 3 and 4 stars, since the writing was top-notch, regardless of the midway slog. I never realised how fascinating and eventful Madam Tussaud's life was.
