Tracy Chevalier wrote "Girl with the pearl earring" in white hot inspiration and that was her finest moment. That was really a good book,well writen and rightly became best-seller. Unfortunately nothing she came up afterwards matches that brilliance and who knows,maybe is too much to expect people to write masterpieces one after another - one is perhaps enough for a lifetime."Lady and Unicorn" was so-so and later I lost her somehow,thinking she perhaps repeats herself and was probably right.
"Burning bright" is set in London around 1792 and its description is the best part of the book - story itself was not so interesting but people,clothes,work,what they eat,drink and circus they had as entertainment (and source of income for many) was good.
Curously enough,one character is called for a certain lady who paid money on charity auction to have her name used for the book,never thought about it.
