I also read the book. It started off a little slowly and the writers simplistic style made it at first a little difficult to read. But persist! I quickly got used to the style of writing and soon became engrossed in the excellent storyline. The characters are colourful and interesting and there are many twists and turns throughout the book that shock and suprise. I found it one of those books that I couldn't put down as I always wanted to know what happened next......
I didn't read it whilst crossing the road but it did eat into my sleeping time!
Cast and crew at 'The Woman in Black' join the giant reading group!
Barbara Ewing met the company and crew at the Fortune Theatre and presented them with copies of The Mesmerist. Library user Betty Benjamin was on hand to tell them what reading groups are all about.

I really enjoyed it. A fascinating insight into life in Victorian London, with really colourful and endearing characters. I could see and smell the streets around St Giles, Bloomsbury and Mayfair! A great story too - exploring some of the long standing class and social prejudices between the acting profession, the working class, and the rich and noble, as well as the early days of the world of law, medicine, surgery and alternative therapies. Highly recommended.
