Having finished it, I see the full picture and can appreciate the story, but while reading it, I was not as hooked as usually when reading Sarah Waters.
This would be a good book club book to compare to 'Fingersmith', since I thought the vibes were similar in the end.

Last night i had about 30 pages left, and in my head there were about three different ways the ending could go. Rather than push on and find out, i left it until today to finish so i could savour the mystery a bit longer.
