Amusing and romantic work about a Danish harlot who time travels from 1890 Copenhagen to London present day. Great plot.
A bit of a caper and plenty good enough.
I would like to read another by this author but it would need a good recommendation for me to do so.

A very interesting read, light but thought provoking.
I felt a bit let down when loose ends were not tied up. A strange book and very different.
A mundane accident happens and our hero(?) spends all his money re-enacting the event, things get madder and madder. Naz is a great character and what happens to him!?.
Watch this author. A healthy score of 8/10.

“I’d wanted to read this highly thought of author for some time.
I see why people like him, he keeps you wondering for much of the book but everything became predictable and un-interesting.
Sorry JG but you let me down with this one. Will I try another by this author, yes probably.
