Essie Fox divides her time between Windsor and Bow in the East End of London. She is the author of The Virtual Victorian: http://virtualvictorian.blogspot.com
Weaving an intoxicating tale that is both sinister and seductive as it depicts passion, betrayal and obsessive love in every guise, the novel certainly captures the less-palatable aspects of Victorian society with sensuous conviction * GOOD BOOK GUIDE * Expose[s] the mouldy underbelly of Victoriana... the effect can be deliciously unsettling. * THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * [THE SOMNAMBULIST] has taken me to new worlds, is riven with suspense, has made my imagination wander, and my fingers itch to turn the last page * JoJo Moyes * Vividly compelling, dark and dazzling * Katherine Webb on THE SOMNAMBULIST * Transports us to the Victorian squalor of London's East End for a tale of illegitimacy, incest and theatricality with so many twists that you'll want to read it in one sitting * COSMOPOLITAN on the SOMNAMBULIST * This is a modern Gothic novel with a beguiling story at its heart. Big themes of love, obsession, betrayal, tragedy and madness fill the pages, as a shadowy underworld collides with the art and literature elite. Fox weaves her story with dramatic style and allure, creating a cast of enticing characters and an intriguing plot that I couldn't get enough of * The White Company 'What We're Reading' * A fabulous foray into a shadowy Victorian world * WOMAN AND HOME * The author behind the Virtual Victorian blog has followed up her Channel 4 Book Club choice THE SOMNAMBULIST with this Wilkie Collins-style sensation novel... An obvious comparison is with early Sarah Waters...The glee with which Fox approaches her material is infectious. All Victorian life is here ...Intriguing. * GUARDIAN * Fox's story of obsessive love is memorable and unusual * SUNDAY TIMES * Fox's vivid, sensual prose is - fittingly - as seductive as a siren's song, drawing you into a shadowy Victorian world of obsession and guilt... An intoxicating follow-up to 2011's acclaimed THE SOMNAMBULIST. Recommended to fans of Sarah Waters * HEAT *
