At the dawn of the twentieth century, Victoria and Adelaide are twins, identical in every way except their personalities. Victoria is tempestuous and longs to see the world, while Adelaide is content to stay at home. A dark, handsome stranger moves into their orbit and captures Victoria's heart and her lust for adventure, but it's Adelaide whom he marries. The bond between the sisters is broken, as Victoria gets more and more jealous of the glamorous life she believes her sister is living. a gothic tour de force

The audiobook and narrator were good but I did not like this book at all. It felt like a first draft with some interesting ideas, none of which were executed well. I suppose it could work for someone wanting a pretty straightforward historical fiction. It was just so bland, no atmosphere or surprising twists. The twin thing doesn't add anything. There's instalove romance without chemistry.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
