The book has excellent reviews and has been described as Dickensian, likened to Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, and compared to Neil Gaiman. So far I'd agree, the writing is very good and has the feel Bleak House or Oliver Twist. Hopefully the story will live up to the hype.”
This sounds exactly what I want to read next. Thanks for the synopsis.
