I would recommend all of Waters' books to anyone who likes a good historical novel and isn't offended by frank discussions of sexuality. I always feel I'm in good hands with her as a researcher, that she knows her historical period and isn't going to drop in glaring anachronisms. This late 19th century picaresque lesbian coming-out story, of all her novels I read, had the most explicit sex scenes (and more of them!) than the others. It also has an unambiguously happy ending--some of Waters' other books are darker. You can just relax and love London here.
