A review by chandraisenberg
Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier

4.0

Burning Bright wasn't my favorite Tracy Chevalier novel, but it wasn't my least favorite either. She really captured the essence of lower- class, Georgian London and I became quite invested in the main characters. I like the fact that Chevalier typically bases her novels on everyday people who encounter artistic movers and shakers of the period. Blake's character was pretty flat and I was left feeling that Chevalier could have made better use of him in the novel. IMO, she would have done better to choose another player from late 18th cent. London...

Overall, Burning Bright was worth reading.
