From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List):

An extraordinary modern novel in the Victorian tradition, Charles Palliser has created something extraordinary—a plot within a plot within a plot of family secrets, mysterious clues, low–born birth, high–reaching immorality, and, always, always the fog–enshrouded, enigmatic character of 19th century—London itself.
