First of I love the presentation of Stacy Hall’s novels, I purchased this one in Hardback and the Jacket and inside cover is beautifully illustrated and so pretty.
I loved the atmosphere of the novel and got totally lost in the story. Wonderful sense of time and place and a captivating plot. I really enjoy historical fiction and couldn’t wait to read more on the Foundling Hospital when I finished the novel.
The story does have it’s moments where a couple of the situations and happenings were just a bit too convenient and perhaps a little contrived, but for me it didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
