The Monitor: This fascinating novel subverts Pygmalion, rags-to-riches and boy-meets-girl tropes to memorable effect….The narrative style is a delightful pastiche of Georgian and Victorian suffused with striking sensuality and modern sensibilities, as if Charles Dickens and Jane Austen had a child together and raised her on shojo and yaoi manga. The voice of the Pleasure Merchant’s apprentice will stay with you for days.
