Not getting much reading done at the moment as life is a bit busy blowing me off track!
Anyway, finished this yesterday and loved it. Wish I‘d have been in the position to visit Silver Moon when it was open.
Used one of my Boudicca bookmarks as these women were modern day warriors!

squirrelbrain Fab! I should get round to reading this soon. And don‘t worry - plenty of reading next weekend! 😊 6d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lauren‘s attic keeps delivering her new husbands, and lives to go with them. She has to decide whether and how long to keep them and when and how to finally stop the cycle. Interesting to think about how to approach deciding whether to keep a fully formed life when you know all you have to do to reset it is send your partner into the attic and get a new one.

Visitors to London, especially those from outside of the UK, who wish to see the remnants of early Victorian London are probably going to be somewhat disappointed, although this is not just a recent thing, As the author argues, the truth is that the London of Dickens's time was already being lost before the end of the Victorian era & his writing was beginning to be thought of as 'old hat' by then too.

OutsmartYourShelf London is most definitely a living palimpsest where the evidence of previous centuries can occasionally be glimpsed through the modern city, but the rookeries & crowded tenements have been erased. In truth there is not much of 'Dickensland' left apart from the survival of an odd coaching inn or two immortalised in Pickwick Papers & the Charles Dickens Museum at Doughty Street where he lived between 1837-1839. 7d
OutsmartYourShelf In fact the most popular sites such as the purported original Old Curiosity Shop or Nancy's Steps are linked with Dickens more by tradition than hard evidence as this book points out. The last chapters deal with Dickens's work adapted for film & TV, especially the musical 'Oliver', & were really interesting too. I do wish I had known of the brief existence of actual tourist attraction 'Dickensland' as I would have liked to 7d
OutsmartYourShelf have visited before it closed but I'd never heard of it before this book. Overall it was a really interesting & informative read & has made me want to dust off my old Dickens books for a re-read at some point. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Yale University Press, for the opportunity to read an ARC. (Catching up on some older ARCs)
