Helpful Score: 4
Well written, dickensian silliness about a foundling boy who is raised as a girl in order to spare his guardian's sanity. Not quite enough story for the 500 pages, I thought.

As my review title suggests, this book is an excellent observation in gender roles. Barring the historical relevance of this novel, many themes may be attributed to today's world, as well as giving insight to motivations or intentions on the cross between gender lines. Would love to see what else Stace comes up with. Original story lines, unique historical fiction, and easy to read. Stace does not let the reader down!
