Description
From the acclaimed novelist Sarah Walters (Tipping The Velvet) comes this tale of dark deeds and intrigue, awash with all manner of gloomy Dickensian leitmotifs, pickpockets, orphans, grim prisons, lunatic asylums, 'laughing villains' and, of course 'stolen fortunes and girls made out to be mad'. This wonderful hypnotic story is a damning critique of Victorian moral and sexual hypocrisy, a gripping melodrama and a love story to boot. IT's circa 1862 and amongst the smoky, dark twisting allyways, the story of two very different young women collide with terrifying consequences.
