Ok - I had high hopes but ended up underwhelmed.I liked the character profiles, the historical links, although they did feel a little contrived at times. The flow of the story was good and it moved at a satisfying pace.However, the whole package just felt like there was something missing and I am not really sure what that is. The connection to the Victorian history, the changes in women’s rights and access to education was great and an important piece of history. I suppose I just was never actually sure who or what the story was actually about. There were so many ‘bits’.Perhaps I just wasn’t quite tuned in to it, but I felt similar about The Garden I’d Lost Secrets too.I am certain that others may heartily disagree with me!
