This debut novel reminded me of a Charles Dickens book. It is a well-told story that never disappoints its reader in either character development or a plot filled with suspense. I truly couldn't put it down - it is a book to read by the fire long into the night. I hated to see it end because I knew it wouldn't be there waiting for me to read. This is not serious fiction like "Suite Francaise," but it is truly mesmerizing. Diane Setterfield has a true gift that I hope will result in another book very soon.
