kiwimrsmac 's review for:
The Cleaner of Chartres
by Salley Vickers
This book was a slow burner, which sped up with every page, until I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen to dear Agnes.
We all know a woman like the busybody in the book - she embodies everything bad about people who can't mind their own business and who dwell on their own failures.
What a beautifully written story. Such lovely full characters woven into one engrossing story - heartbreaking at times, but also honest.
I really and truly loved this book. Slow, simple, engrossing. No swaggering heroes or bodice ripping in sight. No convenient 'easy for the writer' happy coincidences. Very cleverly plotted.
Well done to the author.
