Reviews
A Bright Penny in a Muddy Puddle.
by Roger CO on Mon 25th Sep 2023.
Excellent writing and read on holiday in Ireland. Convincing plot and characters and milieu in 18th century London. If we assume the technical details of life in London and England at that time are accurate then it has an internal logic that convinces. Lily as a child and a young adult is well drawn and her actions are consistent with being a bright penny in a puddle of mud
