With this elegant edition, Smith & Taylor Classics celebrates Levys sharp and modern tale of ambition, survival, and the female gaze.The Romance of a Shop follows the four Lorimer sisters in the wake of their fathers death. Penniless and reliant on each other, they decide to open a photography studio at 20B Baker Street, offering the citizens of London quality portraits.Its the 1880s and photography is not only growing in popularity and accessibility, but those with a critical eye are elevating the medium associated with quick and steady cash into a true art form.With more women entering the workforce out of necessity and rebellion, the Lorimer sisters take advantage of newfound independence as they work to survive poverty, the grind and smoke of London, fraught courtships, and melodramatic twists of fate. A novel of sisterhood, love, the female gaze and postmortem photography Levy deftly balances along the thin lines of romance and realism, art and commerce.Featuring a conversational afterword from writers Ruth Madievsky and Rachel Len.

This book has some delightful moments, but I felt it dragged in parts. The illustrations are beautiful, though, and it's a fun addition to my collection of classics. Just wish it had a bit more energy!

Not What I Expected
I ordered this expecting more depth, but it felt a bit superficial. The charm is there, but I was hoping for a deeper narrative. It’s okay for casual reading, but I’m not sure I’ll revisit it.
