Britannia Mews by Margery Sharp
5.0
Set in the late 1800s then going up through to WWII, this book follows the life of Adelaide Culver who elopes with her drawing master to live a life of poverty.
This is my first adult book by Margery Sharp and I just adored it. I read it so fast as I just couldn't bear to put it down. I even woke up in the mornings thinking about the characters. They were so real to me and I loved everyone though they were flawed in their ways. The book was realistic of the Victorian era. The writing was wonderful with beautiful use of language. Even before I was finished I was thinking about reading more of the author. One of the best books I've read this year.
