Three fates intertwine in this moving and passionate love story set in Victorian London.
Mary Finn: country girl, maid to a lord in London
Caden Tucker: liar, scoundrel, and heart's delight
James Nelligan: age six, tossed into a herd of boys
When Mary Finn falls into the arms of handsome Caden Tucker, their frolic changes the course of her life. What possesses her? She's been a girl of common sense until now. Mary's tale alternates with that of young James Nelligan, a new boy in an enormous foundling home.
In Folly, Marthe Jocelyn's breathtaking command of language, detail, and character brings Victorian London to life on every page, while the deep emotions that illuminate this fascinating novel about life-changing moments are as current as today's news.

This book is set in Victorian London, told in four alternating perspectives. 14 year old Mary Finn is sent away from her family to begin working as a servant at Allyn House. At the age of 16, she meets a boy named Caden Tucker who she falls for. James Nelligan is being sent off to live in the Foundling Hospital after being a foster child for 6 years.
I found it very obvious how James and Mary's stories would be intertwined after the first few changes of perspective. I did love James as a character though, he was very cheeky and fun to read. I liked Mary as well, I think she was very headstrong, honest and knew what she wanted. I found that Oliver and Eliza's POV were a bit unnecessary for the story, but I didn't mind them as characters. I like that the author told the story with the language they used in that time period, I think it made the book more interesting. I did find the pacing to be a bit slow though and found myself bored at some points.
