Intrigue, sex and magic are fabulous ingredients for a successful and engaging novel, with the additional edge of being set against a contrasting Victorian background. My first book of the Charm of Magpies series and by the author, but I’m pretty sure I’ll cast my eyes on other episodes of the saga very soon.

Forty years later the great philosophy behind the book seems to be very thin, simplistic and no longer a source of great inspiration, as it was at first sight. Probably this is one of those books which is son of its age.
