Sarah Waters never disappoints! I was so swept up in the story that I couldn’t think of anything else until I’d finished it. I’d already seen The Handmaiden, loved it, and finally picked up this book after being warned it’s very different from the movie.

My heart broke at the extra twist in the last third or so.

Both book and movie are excellent!
