hwebb rated The haunted looking glass: 4 stars
This is a terrific book. I thought it would be a series of anecdotes about what it's like to be a POC in the UK, but it's a fascinating historical analysis.

A somewhat random reader of both fiction and world history. I'll read the first couple of pages of an interesting-looking book in the store, and if I'm impressed, I'll buy it. Never got into eBooks. I like turning paper pages.

Not particularly original, and somewhat predictable, but some interesting character studies and insights into English social life
