Read as part of Gloucester Book Club. Set in the Victorian era, it’s a tale of love, friendship and superstition. Beautifully written. It took a while to get into the story so I would suggest sticking with it, then it blossoms but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. However if you like Sunday night TV period dramas this could suit.... it may well end up on our screens in the future. Recommended but with reservations.
