motherofladybirds 's review for:

The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal
3.0

Victorian gothic. A taxidermist obsession with an artist's model associated with the PRBs. I enjoyed the details of place and time. I got frustrated with the pace and I thought it was a little predictable. I did enjoy that Iris escaped through her own endurance and ingenuity and was not a victim of Silas, or rescued by another man.
