This book has a lot of things I dislike unfortunately. It was written in the 1990s but is set in the mid-to-late 19th century. As a result it has all the cringeworthy gender and disability politics of the 1990s mixed with an artificial old-timeyness that I find irritating in modern historical fiction. It’s also unbelievably slow and repetitive.
