Alone and vulnerable in the vast city, will Kitty be able to survive the ways of London and find her way back home?

Reading The Disgrace Of Kitty Grey reminded me how much I love historical fiction books, even though I've only read a few. And this one is definitely my favorite! Although the story starts off quite tame and easy to read, once you get about half way through it's like a totally different book! It's exciting and completely gripping till the very end, and the plot has some very unexpected twists and turns which I would never have guessed.

Also I loved the style in which it was written; it wasn't written in such an old style that is was hard to read, but it wasn't like a book set in modern times either. All in all I thought it was an excellent book, and I would recommend it to fans of adventure, and of historical fiction.
