![]() The book is broken into two storylines: Ruth’s tale of her childhood and how she came to kill and Dorothea’s struggles with the pressure to conform and her confusion about whether Ruth truly believes what she is saying. A murderess, Ruth stands apart from the rest with her story of how she committed her murders: by sewing deadly creations. ![]() ![]() Ruth is one of the prisoners that Dorothea meets during her prison visits. The Corset is a novel set in Victorian England, centred around the question ‘can you kill with a needle?’ Dorothea is an heiress who’s more interested in charity work and furthering her study of phrenology than marrying well (of course, she also has a working-class beau, another reason why she’s reluctant to marry someone rich and important). Also, I need to be able to vaguely talk about the ending I won’t give concrete spoilers but if you’re determined not to know anything, please click away now! As much as I enjoyed The Corset, this was not a binge-able book. ![]()
