Anyone read The Girl in the Blue Dress?

I'm reading it right now. It's based on the life & marriage of Charles Dickens, who I knew virtually zero about before.

It is one of those historical fiction books that makes you want to learn what it was really like.

Maybe a biography of Charles Dickens is in order?

Anyway, it's really good so far. I'll let you know in the next couple of days how it turned out.

yes-i read it a few months ago and have recommended it on here a few times. i'm a huge dickens fan so it was great to read something about him from his wife's view.
