Still, Jenkins does get us into her London very successfully. Research into fabrics, locations, attitudes and more has obviously been done, and yet shows up very lightly. She evokes the character of Jane very well, with a sort of willingly hard-working, yet bemused approach hardened by years of neglectful attitude from countless others. Her story, due to her personality and the wave of enveloping intricacy, is, whatever its small flaws, still worth investigating.
Take away the music hall, and swap it with fortune -telling, and you're in the world of [[Cross My Palm by Sara Stockbridge]] which is worth a look for fans of novels in the Victorian era. We can also recommend [[Little People by Jane Sullivan]].
