Got this from the used library books table at BooksAMillion. I really enjoyed this author's book Girl With A Pearl Earring and look forward to reading this one.
From Amazon:
Set among the sweeping skirts and social upheavals of Edwardian London, Tracy Chevalier's Falling Angels is a meditation on change, loss, and recovery. Her central characters are two young girls of the same age, whose family plots are situated side-by-side in a cemetery modeled on Highgate. Lavinia Waterhouse is respectably middle-class, devoted, like her conventional, doting mother, to the right way to do things, although suspiciously well- schooled in subjects like funerary sculpture and the English practices of mourning. Her friend Maude Coleman comes from a slightly more privileged and free-thinking background. In contrast with Lavinia's mother, Maude's mother Kitty Coleman is well-educated by the standards of the day, and it has made her restless and irritable. But neither her reading, nor her gardening, nor her affair with the somber, high-thinking governor of the cemetery is enough for Kitty. She comes alive only when she discovers the women's suffrage movement, and her devotion to the cause takes her away from Maude in every sense.

I couldn't stop reading! I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about this author but she is fantastic. I get so involved with her characters. The way this story was put together was interesting. I've read books with each chapter told by a different character but nobody's pulled it off as well as Chevalier.
