``This is a savory, intricately wrought tale of a tangled romantic triangle in repressed Victorian England. . . . Though the plot sometimes creaks and slows,'' wrote PW , ``the novel is carried by Roberts's evocative imagery, which immerses the reader in both the splendor and poverty of the gaslit, cobblestoned Victorian era.''
