“This is a fictionalized account of the poet’s life and her family. More than that, Ms. Denton has woven Rossetti’s own words into the tale in such a way as to bring her words to life and give them new meaning. Beyond that, the author’s own language flow and word choices resonate beautifully with what we know of Christina Rossetti’s own use of language. All in all, this is a brilliant work.
“However, it is a work for only a small number of readers, those who are fans of Victorian poetry in general and the Rossetti family’s in particular. Hopefully, a college professor of Victorian poetry will discover this book and assign it to their students. Yes, there is a sense of elegance and style to be developed by reading The Dove Upon Her [Branch], and I applaud DM Denton for giving the world an inspired work if not one that is always accessible to the ordinary reader.”
A few days after Ken posted his review, I saw this meme and thought of his response and was even more pleased with it:
