My Dirty Little Book of Stolen Time by Liz Jensen

4.0

An entertaining, time travelling, fast paced romp of a story, largely set in 1890s Denmark and modern day London. Told from the point of view of Charlotte, an orphaned Danish prostitute, who regularly addresses the reader directly. There's a light smattering of Danish words throughout the text which I often found myself looking up. I think it was worth my time to do so, as it really helped to build the picture of what Charlotte was experiencing and the food they were indulging in.

A unique story that crosses genres, Liz Jensen has quite the imagination. I will definitely try reading some more of her books.
