Who Is Anna Stenberg? is the kind of book you pick up for the adventure and stay for the friendship. Yes, there’s a murderous father on the loose and a mysterious pickpocket and a Victorian London full of danger. But at the heart of it is the relationship between the narrator and Anna, and Norman writes that with real warmth.
The Viktor disguise gives the story a lovely energy — becoming someone else as both survival strategy and liberation. The supernatural elements in the second half deepen everything without losing the cozy adventure feel.
Best read on a gray afternoon with something warm. The mystery of Anna keeps you turning pages long past sensible stopping points.
