Though I saw mixed reviews for this book I went ahead and purchased it, and I'm glad that I did. The story is a most detailed and vivid account of a strange set of circumstances. Though one reviewer felt that the story had too many narrow missed for uncovering the truth of the strange circumstances surrounding Johnny, I didn't feel that there was any unnecessary story telling. In fact, had the author cut out any of the action in the book it might have seemed implausible. As such, the main character's struggle to find her place in society was rather compelling and had me championing her from the beginning. The writing was detailed and accurate for the time period and while many authors spend endless amounts of time on describing the fashion I rather enjoyed that this author spent that time developing a wide range of characters.
