i wanted to like this bc lesbians but it was so hard to read and so much fluff. made me realize i’m not a big fan of the victorian era

Quite a page-turner and an interesting depiction of the theater and of lesbians in London in the late 1800s. Nancy certainly experiences the whole gamut of the lesbian community. The book contains some pretty explicit sex scenes.

4.5 stars. There were a few pacing issues at the start of the book (although it could just be me procrastinating on reading), but this is a fantastic book about love, loss and love again. I can't wait to read other books by Waters.

kathrinpassig's review against another edition
4.0
In anderen Rezensionen wird bemängelt, dass die Protagonistin unsympathisch ist und die historischen Details falsch sind. Das Erste ist mir nicht aufgefallen, das Zweite hat mich nicht gestört. Aber das Beste war eigentlich das Nachwort der Autorin, in dem sie erklärt, was sie zwanzig Jahre später anders machen würde.
