Title: A Gripping Challenge to Any Faith in Human Kindness
Product review: This beautifully written book transports you into Victorian England. Even during the times you are not reading it you will still be breathing, thinking and feeling engulfed in that age and place. The plot, while superficially complicated, is in essence a challenge to any belief in alturism and human kindness. Slowly and methodically the innocence and trusting of the child protagonist is widdled away at by the notion that most people are inherantly selfish and greedy. The central character, who desperately wants to trust others, is betrayed over and over again by those he trusts. Yet, the intricacies of the plot overcome its depressing nature and compel the reader to finish the book to see whether human kindness triumphs in the end.
