Augh. Can someobody please recommend to me a (fictional) book about the Victorian era? I want to find one I'd be willing to re-read. After the disappointing novels "The Crimson Petal and the White" and "The Enchanted Chocolate Pot", I need to cheer myself up!

(what a way to start 2005. By whining. Oh well.)

Happy new year, everybodeh.
