I absolutely loved Miro’s writing, which is lush and evocative without tipping over into purple prose territory. Because the story is set in the Victorian time period and takes place London (as well as other locations), Miro does a great job of evoking the squalor and desperation of the poor, the grittiness of the streets, and the horrible lives of those without status or the means to survive. And for such a long book, I thought the pacing was pretty solid. Even though the story is intricately plotted, and the author spends time digging into each character’s backstory, the pace never suffered during these moments. I was so riveted by every detail of the characters’ lives and each bit of world-building that the pages flew by much faster than I expected.

Rixi回去之後,就一直非常悲傷。為了讓自己振作起來,穿上了海雲買的新衣服。
菜園裏的西紅柿看到了果實,還是很激動。
這一周吃著老朱農場的新鮮蔬菜,非常舒服。這樣才是夏天的味道。吃到了紫色的長豇豆,非常軟糯。
白不老炒肉絲,非常喜歡老朱農場的冬瓜。
又碰到了第一次幫助我的護士。她總是那麽地熱情可親。
