Synopsis
“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 neighbourhood 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.

1883, époque victorienne, Londres. Nous suivons Emma M. Lion, une jeune femme de retour dans sa demeure Lapis Lazuli house à travers son journal intime. Ce roman se lit très vite et est particulièrement plaisant car découpé par date (logique pour un journal intime...). L'héroïne est drôle, attachante et pleine d'esprit. On y suit son quotidien de Lady sans le sou et j'ai hâte d'en découvrir plus !
