| Alice's POV |
Jonathan Swift said; vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others, so are you able to see the invisible, the blurred lines of interactions, the wink of an eye when you are not looking? It took some time to know the answer to a question I had never bothered to ask and it was a long journey until my eyes were opened, till the blind could see. Though I can still pinpoint back to the moment my tale of horrors began, it was not like any other day, I would be off on my own for the first time and felt in my bones there was something quite different in the smoky London air.
December 7th of 1888, what a cold day it was, the wind of the winter blew right through my thin outfit and my teeth battered against one another as I tried to say goodbye...
- I had to recommend this book because it's definitely worth a read if you like well-paced historical dramas. Believe me, this has a lot of drama. It's a long book but don't let that put you off. It carries you the whole way. Victorian 19th century England to be precise. (sphinx1)
