Review

Rating:

Mildly amusing, but I don’t know who in their right mind was comparing this to Sarah Waters. Definitely more like Liz Jensen’s My Dirty Little Book of Stolen Time. Anyone picking this up thinking it’ll be anything like Fingersmith or Tipping the Velvet will be in for disappointment.
