The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 1

By Beth Brower

Book Overview

"I've arrived in London without incident. There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years has been nothing but incident."

The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian's. But Emma's plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian's.

Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Readers have compared Beth Brower's writing to Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, P.G. Wodehouse, and L. M. Montgomery.

Customer Reviews

I'm glad I gave it a chance!

4.5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.✨️ Wow! What can I say? I was genuinely not liking it at first and almost didn't want to continue but I can say as of finishing this book that I in fact will get volume 2 as soon as possible to read! I am pretty surprised that I went from 30 pages in not really enjoying it to the end of the book wishing I had more to read! I absolutely do NOT like Cousin Archibald in the slightest! And Aunt Eugenia? please! The least the aunt can do is offer her a nice wardrobe for everything she is pushing her to do before she'll even consider helping her find a suitable husband! And how my heart ached for her and her loss of Maxwell 😭 I'd definitely recommend this book!

Clever!

The author is incredibly clever! This first book sets up all sorts of plot lines in a very engaging way! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
