Christmas is coming, and what more appropriate than a story based on The Nutcracker?
Ironically, the fantasy sections of this novel feel more real and believable than the ones set in the real world. Maria Kuzniar’s version of British high society and life in 1906 Nottingham never rings true, from a clearly upper middle-class family being passed off as aristocratic to stilted, artificial modes of speech, the tiresome trope of uncomfortable corsets, and a tediously clichéd relationship between parents and children.
