5.0 out of 5 stars
Palmer "captures" Victorian England much the way Dickens did,
By
This review is from: The Hoydens and Mr. Dickens: The Strange Affair of the Feminist Phantom (Hardcover)
Palmer's third book in this "series" continues to capture Victorian England; he is able to evoke the landscape and atmosphere of the time, of
the place, and of the characters. Most don't.
Aside from Anne Perry and Michael Crichton's
"Great Train Robbery," I have not read such
convincing Victoriana and the accompanying
hypocrisy. Palmer is able to sustain the reader's
interest throughout, particularly with his use of
other "real" characters such as Florence Nightingale. He is able to make Dickens
quite the human character!
