Why read it?
1 author picked The Tea Rose as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a wonderfully romantic saga focusing on a young woman in the East End of London in the late 1800s, and how she works her way up to run her own business empire, facing tragedy and treachery along the way. Set alongside the Jack the Ripper murders, it has plenty of intrigue and mystery, as well as romance, perfect for fans of Downton Abbey or The Gilded Age.

From Kate's list on historical novels to sweep you away.
