review 1: Cry of the Peacock - A beautifully written Victorian historical fiction set in England in 1800's. It firmly touches on social and economical issues. It is an amazing story with romance, mystery, and suspense. There are two families involved with a web of family secrets and demands on marriages. Their stories are woven together and is very moving. I enjoyed the book from the beginning to the very end. This is truly a great book and a great author.
review 2: The Cry of the Peacock is a beautifully written tale of romantic intrigue set in Victorian England. Arabella and Mariana Gray, newly orphaned sisters, find themselves entangled in a web of family lies and family loyalties spun by the fascinating Crawford brothers. Arabella is offered what seems like a... more dream come true––marriage into a family of wealth and respectability––but at what cost? Her sister Mariana faces a future saving other young girls from ruin––but is losing her heart to a man who seems to embody the immorality that has caused that ruin. As in her earlier work, Of Moths and Butterflies, Christensen skillfully illuminates both the beauty and barbarity of a society in transition, while creating characters whose flawed humanity haunt me still. less
