This book, although written by a modern living author, is written beautifully in the language of the Victorians. (I despise reading pretend Victorian era prose by modern writers).
The story begins a little too much in the way the classic of 'the Secret Garden' did but it soon heats up with mystery regarding how a big mansion is ran. I would so not call this lesbian literature. Very few moments of describing adventures between two women. But the story is about love!

Bodice ripper with clever twists and turns in the plot but some of it is repetitive. Good but not great.
This book surprised me with plot twists THREE times! I had to put it down and just think about the turn of events for a little while because I was so shocked by the various turns of events. From the slums of London to an English country estate, to an insane asylum, this story is told in two voices. Not one very likable character among them, but very enjoyable read.
