What a book! Loved from the first chapter to the last. Rich, vivid depiction of Victorian London and brilliant characters in Iris and her sister Rose, who paint dolls faces but who long for so much more. Iris dreams of being a real artist and is introduced as a model / muse to Louis, much to the horror of obsessive Silas, a mysterious and creepy “collector of artifacts and taxidermy, who wants Iris all to himself.
A thriller against a backdrop of Victorian art. Loved every page.
