Lemonade by Nina Pennacchi
A bittersweet, extremely dark historical, erotic romance set in nineteenth-century England that is most definitely not for everyone. A book that will keep you on the edge of your seat during the highly descriptive passages, and yet, you would eagerly continue turning pages. A disturbingly alluring story with some pretty brutal, yet greatly descriptive scenes that will leave you emotionally drained and confused over what these emotions will engulf you. A wonderfully written and carefully plotted piece of historical fiction that you will devour in one sitting.
