Girl in a Blue Dress: A Novel Inspired by the Life and Marriage of Charles Dickens by Gaynor Arnold
4.0
I admit, I went into this book with a little bit of trepidation. With the exception of "A Christmas Carol," I am not a fan of Charles Dickens at all. But bot even a chapter in I was pleasantly surprised by how well written this novel was.
This is not an biography of Dickens' marriage or a portrait of his life. But this is a beautifully written, albeit sad reimagining of it from the wife's point of view. I thoroughly enjoyed this read, even though I hated some of the characters. Just as I imagine I would hate Dickens himself!
