The Illness Lesson by Clare Beams

4.0

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. Reading the back summary I really wasn't sure I was going to like this book at all. However, once I was in the thick of it I greatly enjoyed it. The feeling was very victorian and simultaneously hard to place in a timeline which make it feel uncomfortable the whole way through. The characters were well written, the plot interesting and intelligent, and it was all around a good read.
