"What a joy to read this book proved to be. From the very first page I was drawn in with the action, was instantly attracted to the characters and was very impressed how with so few strokes of her pen, Sims managed to draw the situation, the era, the environment and the characters. Language is certainly Sims' gift but she doesn't drown you in it. It's an intelligent read, but steers clear of being a morass where the words become more important than the story itself." - Erastes, author of Standish and Mere Mortals
Like "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" or "The Woman in White", this Victorian novel is replete with plot twists, years-long detours, providential meetings, villainy, and a great deal of drama. It differs from most other Victorian novels in that the main characters who meet and fall in love are both men, one an adopted son with a dark secret and Dickensian background, who has taken on a new identity, and the other an uptight doctor with a strong religious background.
