Initially I really liked this book. The physical underground railway caused me no issues. However, it all began to go wrong with the other divergences from history. Increasingly, his writing style grated. Mabel's short tale near the end was wonderful, but by then I just wanted the book to finish. The book left me cold and that seems wrong for such an important subject.
