I really liked this book. The author did a good job on approaching the racisim aspect. The characters were intruiguing and Ameila was really likeable. I loved the author's other book A Rhapsody of Dreams and it was also very good. Good job again Tami!I must admit that I was hooked as soon as the book started. I found it easy to read and enjoyed the flowing style of the writing. The story follows Emily, Josiah and Amelia as they navigate through racism in early 1800s London.

I want to read it again and again. Beautiful story by Tami Egonu and very well written. I'm ready to devour The Enchanted.
A fascinating read.This is a thought provoking and relevant book with strong characters. It deals with racism in the 19th century thats sadly pertinent in the 21st century, and shows how people can turn on their own family. Its also about unconditional love and I relished every page. I fell in love with Josiah and Emily, and enjoyed Wilberts dandy character. I adore Amelia who is an exceptional child, and I'm intrigued by the supernatural element. I cant wait to find out what happens next. I
Beautiful book with heartrending moments. I had to read the second book as soon as possible. I fell in love with Emily and Josiah.
Sentimental A novel that tells a story of its time, historical setting but with underlying commentary around racialism and social contexts, valid today.
