It is another book I plan on reading this winter (along with Bleak House). Since I've read several books by Wilkie Collins, too, it should be especially interesting!

You're right about feeling like a voyeur, though. The author brings us right into the intimate details of this family's life. The literary aspect was one of the highlights for me, too. It's fascinated to see how some of my favorite books and characters were derived from the real thing. I really liked this one too! You’re right about feeling like a voyeur, though.

But I really loved the links drawn between this and fiction. As you say, it makes you want to go back to all those great Victorian novels.

I interviewed Avis of She Reads and Reads for BBAW and she cited this one as one of her faves for 2008. I've been curious about it ever since. Margaret, this sounds like a great book.

My TBR list grows each time daily - I just don't have an answer. Cathy it is really good and I hope you get round to reading it sometime soon. I think I wouldn't feel happy without a TBR list but mine is far too long. Cath, I borrowed my copy from the library, but I wish I'd bought it now. I hope you enjoy it.

I'll grab it next time I'm in there as it sounds excellent. I saw this in Waterstones the other day and almost bought it. I’ll grab it next time I’m in there as it sounds excellent.
