My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A fascinating peek into the life of old London, so well described that I could smell every foul odour, see the dilapidated buildings, and understand the customs of various groups thrown together by chance.
Edge of the seat tension set me worrying about young Kit's secret, especially when she comes to the aid of a worldly man with a harmful glint in his eyes. Throughout the novel, the environment kept me riveted to the era. And, I never knew when the brilliant Kit would be found out in her masquerade as a youth. What an adventure. Any girl would love to have Kit's skill, her knowledge as a doctor, her ability to play instruments, and to decipher codes in one of the most dangerous times in England. This novel has it all.
