Why read it?
1 author picked The White Forest as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Set in Victorian England, this novel is a sinister, gothic tale based on the ability of a young woman to read the souls of man-made objects and the disappearance of a young man drawn to the occult.

For me, the writing was what really drew me in and I have to admire anyone who can weave historical and fantastical elements as beautifully as this author.
From Clare's list on historical books to incorporate magic.
