Title: Great Period Piece
Product review: I loved it. The historical detail makes this well worth reading.Maggie Butterfield is one of those characters who stay in your mind forever. Street-smart and brassy, she knows the underside of London. She's one of those poor kids who manages to wiggle into the front of the crowd and grab for herself a free seat from where she is able to take it all in and learn from it.Maggie and the Kellaway family are the main characters in this, another of Tracy Chevalier's grand books, highly-detailed adventure. Blake is relegated to a secondary role, one that offers few clues to how he bacame the person he was, someone ahead of his time, a thinker, a man caught up in the events on the Continent.
