A review by katiejlumsden
The Invisible Woman by Claire Tomalin

4.0

A brilliant book, a wonderful historical examination of the mystery surrounding Charles Dickens's mistress, Ellen Ternan. I'm not sure I agree with all of Claire Tomalin's literary criticism / assumptions about Dickens's novels themselves, but the history is brilliantly told and the book thoroughly engaging - well worth a read if you're interested in Dickens!
