    This was just a really good story which benefitted so much by being written in the epistolary form. Each small detail of the plot is divulged at just the right time to make the story unputdownable. Loved it.

    Penny Vincenzi is certainly a good story teller (No Angel was one of my favorites), but my god, this book could have been trimmed down by half - easily. It was a bit of a slog to get through it.

  • The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox
    • Rated 5 stars

    I found this book to be absolutely unputdownable. O'Farrell's writing style is a joy to read as she reveals another tantalizing part of the story in each page. Esme is portrayed with a remarkable sensitivity by the author - as if she was perhaps just misunderstood by her unfeeling parents, her jealous sister, and the inflexible society in which she grew up. Although written in sparing detail, the reader comes to care about each character - truly an impressive piece of writing.

    I enjoyed this book very much. War time London was beautifully evoked, and I enjoyed Fowler's funny, offbeat writing style. The characters were well drawn, and I look forward to reading others in the series. I knocked off one star because I thought the plot lagged a bit in the middle where I found the lengthy physical descriptions of the theatre to be rather arcane. A terrific start to the series.
