I absolutely adored this book. It was beautiful and sad and the characters reminded me of Angela Carter and everyone was in unrequited love and being haunted and gazing at the moon...
I'm obsessed! I'm going to reread The Essex Serpent and then read it again so I can further appreciate the little references. 
Read it, it's sublime. But if you somehow don't like it don't tell me as I'll take it as a personal insult!
