The Corset by Laura Purcell

5.0

What an amazing story! This is the 2nd of her books I've read and the second I've loved. The perfect blend of historical fiction, gothic setting and thriller twists. Highly recommend.

This book was such a pleasant surprise, the way Ruth told her story made me feel all the emotions with her and the twists and turns that started coming towards the end were just amazing. At first, I thought Dorothea's POV was unnecessary because well, Ruth's parts were simply ticking all the boxes for me, but the way it unfolded and their stories connected at the end was chef's kiss.
