This was an interesting read that took a lot of twists. I think this might be the first book I've ever read about the suffragette movement. I liked it. Overall, it was good. It was really the cover and title that had initially caught my eye, which turned out to not really be a very big part of the real story.

Pg 300 something.... the title of the book just made sense and the mystery deepens. This is quite the unusual book thus far.

In 1912 London, the Victorian era is still alive and well despite the advances of the twentieth century. The Suffragette movement has reached a feverpitch. manufacturing jobs are still grueling and urban poverty is difficult to escape. In a time before film, the masses still attend vaudeville and circus shows for cheap thrills.

Juicy new book for flashlight-in-bed reading. I half bought it for the cover, half for the author's name.

BookishMarginalia The cover is gorgeous! 9y

Some people seemed to always find time to think about what they wanted to say; for Frankie, those extra minutes and seconds didn't exist,she didn't know where they were found.
