The Corset

Very suspenseful and emotionally moving! I enjoyed getting the insights and perspectives from two very different women - Ruth the misfortunate seamstress and Dorothea the self righteous intellectual. As the story goes on I realised that there's more beneath their surfaces and until the last page and even beyond I was left questioning ‘coincidence or magic?' This was the first work of Laura Purcell I read and was delighted when my mum said she had “Bone China” and “The Silent Companions” also. I couldn't wait to explore more of the mysterious supernatural spine chilling yet emotionally compelling worlds that Laura Purcell creates effortlessly.
