A light read that’s good for winding down before bed. The author is fond of making up words by adding “-ness” onto other words, rather than using a thesaurus (such as “aloneness” instead of using “solitude” or “isolation” or “loneliness”). If you aren’t picky about how the English language is used, nor sensitive to anachronisms of speech, thought, or behavior in a period novel, then give this one a try!

A light read - good for winding down before bed. Not deep or riveting. The modern language and modes of thought are a bit jarring against the Victorian(?) background. But the main characters are interesting enough to keep me engaged.
