One morning Lucy, a sprightly 13-year-old, opens the
door of her elegant London home and sees who she thinks at first is her mother
standing on the doorstep. It is however, her mother’s identical twin sister who
has been brought up in very different circumstances and so begins a long and
involved story of intrigue and sometimes, very chilling happenings. Some readers will find the complicated
plot a bit too much but others will enjoy the elements of creepiness, teenage
life in Victorian London and the general atmosphere of having to guess what is
really going on and find they make for an unputdownable read.
Google the author’s name for details of her other
books – she has written many. She is a new writer for me and I will be
following her up.
Year 10 up/ Age 14 up (this will be read with
enjoyment by many adults as well).
