Miss Celeste Temple suddenly receives a brief letter from her fiancé, Roger, calling off their engagement for no apparent reason. She is not upset, but wants to find Roger to have him explain his reasons for his actions. One evening, as Celeste secretly follows Roger, she finds herself outside of London at a huge mansion which is hosting a masked ball. Celeste manages to infiltrate the ball where strange and possibly illegal things are happening.

Ultimately, the pacing and over-descriptive nature didn't bother me too much. I really enjoyed the ambiguity about whether this was 'real' Victorian England or not (though the glass books suggested otherwise) and found the entire experience to be extremely original and completely unlike anything I've read before.
