Book Description:
“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.
Review:
This is a light-hearted fun read, perfect if you love Jane Austen, or L.M. Montgomery. Written as a series of journal entries, Emma faces trouble with her relatives and deals with her own emotional troubles, but keeps her chin up and comes to the end of this journal the better for her adventures. I will be reading more of this series.
