Pandora by Susan Stokes-Chapman

4.0

Was really captivated by this wonderful Pandora retelling set in late 18th C London (More fiction set in this period please!). 

I thought the ending was a bit rushed after a really slow start - and the Pandora myth could have been better explained / resolved

A cosy festive romance - thought the sister relationship was really realistic and I rooted for them, even more than the romance. 
Look forward to the sequel

Enjoyed discovering some of Plath's poetry but would have appreciated some notes or briefing with some of the poems, even some notes at the end
