victoriasaurus 's review for:

The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal
3.0

Disclaimer: you need a strong stomach to read this.

But all the same, I’ve not read such a powerful depiction of Victorian London since my last Dickens. The characters were astonishingly well written, and I honestly could not put this book down.

My only gripe is the ending! Way too much “telling” and not enough “showing”.

But still, one heck of a book!
