I've finished The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. It's an excellent book! A little bit romance, a little bit thriller/mystery. The only issue I had with it was that it's a little too long, and seemed to draw things out, BUT I guess it had to tie up ALL the loose ends, so that's probably why it took so long.
Basically the book is about a young girl who lives in an impoverish part of London during the late 1800's. She loses everything except 1 family member because of murders or other deaths or sicknesses, and she wants to rise to the top. She immigrates to New York city where she makes her fortune, and decides to come back and face her past. Throughout the novel is a romantic tale of her love Joe, along with a tale of revenge.
I would recommend this to anyone who has a lot of time to read it (it's kind of unputdownable), but wants some romance with thriller twists.
Now I'm going to read The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Until next time, happy reading!
