Quite a mesmerising story. The story starts in the mid-19th century, Victorian England.Two locations: Hampstead London and a country house in Cumberland The protagonist is Marian Halcombe, a spinner, not very attractive but intelligent and well-spoken. When she meets the somewhat mysterious Camlet, the story can begin. Not great literature but an interesting look at the life of a well-to-do family in mid-19th century England. Well written and from various angles. Ideal reading for Jane Austen fans.
I received this book through Early Reviewers. I can't wait to read the sequel. ( )
