what can i say? i'm a bit of a sucker for historical fiction (though i have to be in the right mood... i tried to finish the book longdon so many times before losing it...) I really like sarah waters (i think her name is sarah)... i feel like i can really get into the heads of her characters, and i dunno, i like an occasional mystery when reading too. so yes, i actually finished it about 3 days ago, so i thought i'd say something, though i find these are much more interesting when the book is still resting in my hands and fresh on my memories...
