Katey
by Lucinda Hawksley
The prospective reader on seeing the subtitle "The life and Loves of Dickens's Artist Daughter" might, might assume that it will be deadly dull but they couldn't be more wrong. The author, the great-great-great niece of Dickens, has produced a thoroughly entertaining insight into the family life of the Dickens family, who were among the A-listers of their generation. Far from being fuddy-duddy Victorians we are introduced into a family life full of complexities and problems,passions and pain. -- A good read for a long summer's day.
