'Vividly imagined' Sunday Telegraph 'Sex and death meet again in
[a] marvellous evocation of Edwardian England' Daily Mail The girl
reminded me of my favourite chocolates, whipped hazelnut creams,
and I knew just from looking at her that I wanted her for my best
friend. Queen Victoria is dead. In January 1901, the day after her
passing, two very different families visit neighbouring graves in a
London cemetery. The traditional Waterhouses revere the late Queen
where the Colemans have a more modern outlook, but both families
are appalled by the friendship that springs up between their
respective daughters. As the girls grow up, their world changes
almost beyond measure: cars are replacing horses, electric lighting
is taking over from gas, and emancipation is fast approaching, to
the delight of some and the dismay of others...
