How does she do it? That's what I asked myself when I finished reading Master Georgie. The descriptions are compact, yet they bring the scenes to life so that I can see them in my mind. I love this kind of visual writing. Other authors offer long drawn out description that tells us nothing (see Cold Mountain) while Bainbridge hardly seems to be describing anything and yet shows so much. This book is completely absorbing. If it were longer it might not be as good, but because I like the writing so much, I was sorry to see it end.
