Awful
This is a ridiculous story that meanders from one sexual and/or erotic encounter to the next. It’s as if the author has taken several similar but independent dark fantasies and strung them together in an attempt to make a whole. Lazy, boring, and uninspired.
Apart from that, the author flips from Victorian to Edwardian, and contends that caning, spanking, and beatings were a common part of life in the Victorian period - it wasn’t, except in society’s sleazy underbelly What happened to Bessie was not believable, nor was the ending. Having been taken by Birch, Cartwright, and half the men in the village, it’s hardly likely William would marry her.
Do not waste your time.
