While I loved Fingersmith and rated it 5 stars, this book was a bit of a drag I felt. The parts with Duncan were especially rather dull to me unfortunately. It was fine overall but it lacked some depth because there were so many storylines

A beautiful weaving of multiple characters' stories. I had a little leap of surprise and joy each time another connection was made, but none felt forced. Sarah Waters is able to write a huge variety of characters and make them all entirely believable. Every character had a moment in which I adored them, one in which I pitied them and then one in which I wanted to scream at them, and yet through all that I cared about each one.  That's an impressive feat.
