Ivy has lived her whole life in the slums of Victorian London, neglected and unloved. Yet something about Ivy compels people. It’s not just her strange beauty and bright red hair, but something deeper. Suddenly, Ivy finds herself caught up in the world of the Pre-Raphaelite artists as one of their models. Will this be Ivy’s new place in the world, or will her addiction to laudanum and secrets from her past rise up to destroy her?
Have you ever felt like you were stranded in the middle of nowhere? Maybe because you got a little bit arrested and your parents are sending you to live with you grandparents in the English countryside? Such is the plight of Charlotte, who finds herself transplanted from the London goth club scene to the scenic lake district, working at the golf resort owned by her grandparents and trying not to die of boredom. But she’s not the only one close to death. Suddenly Carlotte finds herself unraveling the mystery of a local suicide…or was it murder? Part of the joy of this graphic novel is the artwork, the other part is the British slang language it is written in. So don’t make me natter in your lug holes any longer- bog off to the local library and check it out!
