Reviews for Following Ophelia
A dreamy, romantic novel about a young woman becoming embroiled in the Pre-Raphaelite art scene ...I'm very happy to learn that this is the first in the series, as I feel Mary had only dipped her toe into this fascinating and scandalous world and there's so much more I want to know and see through Mary's eyes.
