cathiestrover 's review for:
Bellman & Black
by Diane Setterfield
This has been much described as 'genre defying' so let's not try to pigeon hole it.There's a lot about Victorian funeral practices, a driven central character, a hint of ghostly unreality and some very beautiful prose regarding the lives and habits of rooks.Almost a book of 2 halves in the way the story unfolds; it is both moving and absorbing. I've seen the televised story of it's predecessor the Thirteenth Tale, but now I'll have to read that too.
