(4) YA Velvet's survival as a laundress in Victorian London is tenuous until she meets medium Madame Savoya. Velvet is entranced by Madame's ability to commune with the dead, but eventually scams (and dangers) become all too visible. Velvet's wide-reaching gullibility undermines her appeal as a protagonist, but Hooper excels at period detail. Informative historical notes are appended. Bib.
