No Life for a Lady
2023
In the first pages of #NoLifeforaLady, Violet, its nineteenth-century twenty-something heroine, sets out to find her mother, who disappeared a decade earlier. Her determination to solve this mystery is matched only by her desire to thwart her bumbling father’s attempts to marry her off. She knows how to poke fun at herself, and her self-deprecating sense of humor and naïveté propel the reader through a series of intriguing adventures. I cheered Violet on and just had to know–will she find her mother? Will she find love? The book is enhanced by its beautiful, lyrical descriptions of Violet’s home, an English seaside village, and the author’s deep knowledge of flora and fauna adds depth. A lovely read.
