Welcome to Litsy!

Victorian prudery was a recent concept, before men and women bathed naked at respectable seaside resorts... 🙃

Is there such a thing as too much detail? This book is exhausting, the information becomes mind numbing at a point because the author want to be through to every little detail. Complete is an understatement. It also didn't help that the narrator was a bit monotone.

I just pre-ordered this on Audible. I can't wait to listen to it, I've always found that era, and the legend of Jack the Ripper, fascinating.

I remember my parents reading this book and Helter Skelter when I was a kid. I always asked them to let me read them but of course they never did. They were pretty much the only books in the house I was never allowed to read and it drove me mad. Today my mom was cleaning out some of their storage boxes and found this. So I finally get to read it 😂 8-year-old me feels vindicated.

not sure enjoying is the write thing to say about reading this one
