Why read it?
1 author picked Girl in a Blue Dress as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A novel for anyone who has ever wondered about the fate of Mrs Charles Dickens – Catherine Hogarth – and the appalling treatment she received at the hands of Britain’s most famous Victorian writer.
It’s a hugely enjoyable read, as we follow the fictional Dorothea Gibson coming to terms with the life she once shared with the ‘One and Only’ Alfred Gibson. It’s a story of fame and betrayal, the relationship between sisters, and what happens when a very public man re writes his own personal narrative.
