I could not put this book down. When I had to, I thought about it, and when I had it in my hands I would just read and read. I found Alice a bit disappointing which is why I didn't give this story 5 stars. Being a fan of pre 1800's England, I understand that women were limited in what they could and couldn't do, but I felt for Alice, that she just wen't in circles quiet the extra bit. She always seemed to be building herself up to say or do something, only to get to the desired moment, say 5 words on the subject, and then slip back to her room defeated only to start the process all over again with the same results. I think for me, I would have liked to see at least once or twice throughout the story where Alice didn't lose, or maybe if she must, than to do so with a little more fire in her words. All that being said, I know I will be reading this story again as well as recommending it to fellow readers.
