Why read it?
1 author picked The Doll Factory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Macneal is a go-to for me when it comes to grim reads set in the Victorian era. I found her writing so superb and her grasp of Victorian London and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood so enthralling, it was hard for me to believe The Doll Factory was her debut.
The book is about art and collecting, but the obsession of the book’s villain is what makes this beating heart of a story thrum.
From Tonya's list on historical fiction books with gothic vibes that will give you the creeps.
