I Think Helen Huntingdon is one of the best heroines I have ever read. 

This book was way way ahead of it's time and very controversial as it is  a cering critique on Victorian parenting and the strife it causes in later in life. With a lazer sharp focus on gender.  Therefore it is also immensely feminist and lays bare the dark side of Victorian attitude towards marriage and domestic violence.  Religion is also an important theme in this novel. Universal salvation was a new concept at the time and also controversial concept. This is the idea that a sinner is not necessarily condemned to hell as long as time is served in purgatory is served. 

This is also such a well written novel that you always feel at the centre of the action. The plot is so intricate and intriguing that I didn't know which way to look. Thankfully the Audrey app has handy character list so it is easy to keep track. 

I can't recommend tĥis book and if you do take careful note of chapter 3.
