A review by telerit
The Solitary House by Lynn Shepherd

4.0

I was somewhat hesitant to read this once I found that it was based in part on a Dickens novel. I have a love/hate relationship with Dickens; I hate the pages of pages of sheer description, but love the plots and characters.

Thankfully Shepherd did not indulge in as much description as Dickens is wont to do and I found the story engaging and the characters vivid.
