A slightly whimsical but extremely enjoyable and atmospheric tale. I thought it had a Dickensian vibe at times. There are certainly some Dickensian sounding characters. The descriptions are wonderful. There‘s a definite sense of time and place. The author really brought it all to life for me. I was totally immersed in Neva‘s story and was gripped from beginning to end. A captivating and engaging read. #Lovereading
