a fun fairytale!

I did actually read what seemed like a fairytale where the dull girl becomes a princess in the end. Plenty of bad people and murders and scary haunted halls. It was fun and quick.

I read this book when I was, maybe 16. I borrowed it from the Library, then afterwards I went on a hunt to find a copy of it to buy, I had to own it. It wasn't until years latter I stumbled on it at a Sunday marketplace. It totally took my breath away especially as a 16 year old. I didn't know until then that books could absorb you so much, or shock you so much. I remember having to take my brother to the doctors, and I took the book and read the entire way. Into the car, on the drive, at the doctors, and on the way home. I plan to re-read it again now that Im older and I hopefully will discover that same enthusiasm I felt for the book now as I did then.

I loved this book. It has mystery, romance, and a Victorian setting all wrapped up with a pretty bow. The characters were well written and developed, and the author's descriptions of the various settings really let the reader envision it as though they were in the book themselves. I first read this by plucking it of my sister's shelf when I was bored 40 years ago. I wish I still had it today to read over. It was that enjoyable that I've often wished that.
