This was overall a good story, but somewhat overwritten. I loved the sense of place and felt like I was right there with Victoria, but as we got closer to the end, there would be whole paragraphs of descriptors that started to lose me. Ultimately it was a good story about a woman overcoming a lot of adversity and forging her own path, which I appreciated.
