Critics Review
The tale is redolent with Victorian atmosphere, from the hypocritical snobbishness to the rigid social conventions of the time

The tale is redolent with Victorian atmosphere, from the hypocritical snobbishness to the rigid social conventions of the time * Tangled Web *
If you don’t have a lump in your throat by the time you finish the final few pages, you shouldn’t have had all that sherry * Yorkshire Evening Post *
