Far Above Rubies
Married to one of the most famous writers of the Victorian era, the life of Catherine Dickens is explored in an intriguing biographical novel "So if I was on the edge of reason, who was to blame?

With a sharp sense of time and place, Catherine brings to life a series of well-known Victorians, including William Thackeray, Wilkie Collins and the colorful Count D'Orsay.
