Book summaryAnnie Phelan enters the household of Isabelle and Eldon Dashell as a housemaid. However, she soon begins posing for Isabelle, a photographer who specializes in tableaux of classical scenes, and listening to the hopes and dreams of Eldon, a drab cartographer who longs for a more adventurous life. Isabelle is partly based on the celebrated Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. Media reviews"More than capably written, and redeemed by many stunning moments, but a little too rigorously staged to be fully convincing." |
