4.5. A great read, though switching narrators slowed me down at first.

Victorian artists, large manors in the English countryside, sketchbooks, friendly ghosts, and a mean, thieving family in Edwardian London: these are a few of Kate Morton’s favorite things. They make for an interesting story once, but reading this one almost immediately after The Clockmaker’s Daughter left me rolling my eyes.

I liked this book- sometimes I found it hard to keep the time frames straight but I’m glad I kept reading it! The uncle was just creepy, the aunt should have been charged with child abuse, the daughter was totally clueless!! But when you put it in the context of the year and the culture of that time it became believable. It was so sad and I wish I could have rewritten the ending

I don't have the patience for descriptive detail that has nothing to do with anything, especially when it adds one or two hundred pages to a novel.
