The narrator/tour guide will get to what’s relevant when the time is right. I think it’s a disservice to reveal much of the plot.
You’re in very deep soon enough, utterly beguiled.Ĭharacter-driven, with the plot riding shotgun Right from the very beginning this omniscient fellow speaks directly to you, promises you intimate details (some of which are dark and surprising, even a bit graphic), and lures you straight into 1875. He’s wise about people, too, their quirks and motivations, independent of setting. Transitions back and forth between our modern perspectives and their older, more circumscribed ones are virtually seamless. He knows all about Victorian England – its people, its paradoxes – and what’s more, he knows what you don’t know but would find fascinating. To begin, please create in your mind’s eye (and ear) the most interesting tour guide imaginable. A word of warning, my friends: I’ll be giving this the hard sell.
