There is bedlam, and there is delightful bedlam. This afternoon touched on the second, much to my pleasure.
The year is 1884 and Emma M. Lion has, at long last, gained her majority. Entering a golden age of friendship with Pierce, Islington and Hawkes, Emma is confident she will manage whatever comes her way.
It is The Season and she must help Arabella secure a husband while navigating the threat of Aunt Eugenia, the unflagging adoration of Charles Goddard, and the amusing unpredictability of St Crispian’s. But the secrets of her trusted friends are what might very well bring about disaster.
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.
