I expected to really enjoy this one, but around the halfway mark it descended into eager melodrama, decorated with historical and logical inconsistencies. From a girl who is country gentry but doesn't wear a corset until required to by her job, and then to have it fit well right away, to a man being arrested and somehow acquiring full-on leg shackles between the place of crime and the prison, there was just too much to swallow and my enjoyment of the other elements of the story vanished.
