Synopsis:
"London, 1792. Poet, artist, and printer William Blake works in obscurity as England is rocked by the shock waves of the French Revolution. Next door, the Kellaway family has just moved in, and country boy Jem Kellaway strikes up a tentative friendship with street–savvy Maggie Butterfield. As their stories intertwine with Blake’s, the two children navigate the confusing and exhilarating path to adolescence, and inspire the poet to create the work that enshrined his genius."

For the most part, reading this book felt like reading a YA-novel. That's perfectly fine, don't get me wrong, just not at all what I expected.
Nevertheless I enjoyed it immensely, mostly the descriptions of 18-century London, the way people lived, treated each other, a touch of politics.

The end was quite sudden, it was like the threads needed to be woven into the carpet, no time to waste. A sudden change of pace (and scenery) that for me took away some of the charm of the book.

In the green bookcase outside the side entrance of Paddy's.
