O bale das asas e sonhos esquecidos: That's how it has started

That's how it has started

Watch your step. Keep your wits about you; you will need them.
This city I am bringing you to is vast and intricate, and you have not been here before. You may imagine, from other stories you've read, that you know it well, but those stories flattered you, welcoming you as a friend, treating you as if you belonged. The truth is that you are an alien from another time and place altogether.

THE CRIMSON PETAL AND THE WHITE From Michael Faber- Is this huge book set in London Victoria. 830 pages, is a tough book, long and enduring read, but well interesting... However I am strugling to finish...Time, time..?
