review 1: This is quite an odd - and yet, strangely compelling - story. I began listening to it during a road trip, and was home before the book was over. I was intrigued enough to find it at the library and immediately download it to my kindle. It was a quick read, and yet I find myself strangely unsatisfied with the ending. I spent the latter half of the book waiting for a climax, and none was forthcoming. I'm glad Pell found two of her sisters, Jack, and finally, Bean...but it just wasn't as exciting a reunion as I hoped for. So, huh. Weird. But mostly good.
review 2: The story of Pell, who abandons her abusive home and future husband on her wedding day. This story takes place in Victorian England, where she is immediately considered a "fallen woman" for being on her... more own. Her journey is surprising and sad and wonderful as she discovers where she fits in now that her preplanned life is in a shambles. The only problem I have is that there are some parts that seem too modern and feminist for the time period. less
