Beautiful story. Smattering of similes that draws attention away from the rest of the amazing prose.

It took me almost a month to finish, as it feels a bit slow paced. Though it was easy for me to keep up with the characters and plot.
Well written, some quotes worth writing down, the character of Frannie Langton captured my attention every time I picked up the book, her voice loud and clear (even in laudanum stupor, it seemed), demanding the freedoms, the treatment each human being should have.
