The Essex Serpent
by Sarah Perry
Essex felt both true to Victorian times and exploratory in the ways that human love can be complicated and happy endings can look different. Occasional details were haunting (pulling the circle of hairs from her nape?!) and the language sometimes strained toward erudition, but the overall effect was that of good soup... you know the potato is just a potato, but the ingredients together make magic.
