Emma Lion’s London journals continue

Set in 1883, the second volume returns Emma M. Lion to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian’s and to life at Lapis Lazuli House. Her hopes for a quiet, studious existence meet interference from family and the neighborhood’s eccentric residents. Framed as Emma’s “unselected” journals, the book presents domestic and social curiosities through her own record of events, including observations she describes as potentially self-incriminating. The setup combines a period London setting with family relationships, neighbors, and Emma’s plans for an orderly life under pressure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction set in nineteenth-century London.
  • Readers who enjoy fiction centered on family, neighborhood life, and a journal-keeping protagonist.

Book overview

"I was sitting at my desk reading, with a cup of tea, my windows flung open, when I heard The Tenant enter his garret, just on the other side of the wall from myself."

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, which comprise a series of volumes. 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.
