A wonderful way to get to know Bohemian Chelsea
The neighbors of the title are all the famous and romantic people who lived in Chelsea, London from Thomas Carlyle, who was one of the first to move there, to the PreRaphaelites and Oscar Wilde. The research is superb, the relationships wonderfully done and while the book is more than this, it has the engaging readability of one of those family saga blockbusters. This, of course, is a literary novel and the authors are interested in revealing the characters, as they perceive them, of some of the most famous and influential people of the 19th century. This is a book to love and read over and over again! - an Amazon customer review
