This is a very well-written and well-researched story that overindulges in descriptions of setting. If you like that (I dont), youll appreciate the vivid squalor and foulness. The plot has the substance of a short storydragged out to a few hundred pages of, essentially, backdrop for the description. It is Dickens without the characterization, narrative, and humor.
