Description

London, 1863, is a city of spectacle and entertainment. For Bridie Devine, a remarkable puzzle has come her way - Christabel Berwick, a child who shouldn't exist, has been kidnapped. As she delves into the case, Bridie enters a world of fanatical anatomists, crooked surgeons, and mercenary showmen. Anomalies are in fashion, curiosities are the thing, and fortunes are won and lost in the name of entertainment. The public love a spectacle, and Christabel may prove the most remarkable one London has ever seen. But what does it mean to be human in inhumane times? This enchanting Victorian detective novel explores these questions as Bridie fights to recover the stolen child and uncovers the dark secrets behind her disappearance. With its unique blend of mystery, historical context, and magical realism, Things in Jars is a compelling read for anyone interested in the darker side of Victorian London.
