Here is the book synopsis of "The Doll Factory" by Elizabeth Macneal:
London, 1850. On a bustling street, dollmaker Iris Whittle crosses paths with artist Louis Frost, a painter eager to make her his muse. Iris agrees—but only if he teaches her how to paint.
Longing for independence, Iris immerses herself in a new world of art and romance, unaware she has also captured the attention of another man. Silas Reed, a collector of curiosities with a fascination for the unusual and beautiful, becomes fixated on her after spotting her near the Great Exhibition—unable to put her out of his mind.
As Iris’s horizons widen, Silas’s obsession intensifies. It’s only a matter of time before their paths collide once more…
