A slightly different genre for me as it had a supernatural element as well as being Victorian gothic. I found it a real page-turner towards the ending which was quite unexpected (for me). It felt historically accurate and well researched.
Moderate: Child death, Chronic illness, Death, Mental illness, Blood, Medical content, Grief, Medical trauma, Death of parent, and Murder
