" A textbook case of a "second-novel-itis" - the author clearly has nothing to say and no idea whatsoever what to write about, so she struggles along and finishes with sort of nothing. Not a bang, but a whimper. I loved "The time traveler's wife", but this one is hopeless. This book is somewhat redeemed by the descriptions of London and the Victorian atmosphere if you are into those things. "
