The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, vol. 1

'I hoovered up these books in a matter of days. I am obsessed' JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of Suspicious Things 'Bridget Jones meets every classic novel you've ever loved ... This is like finding an unearthed Jane Austen book you never knew about' STYLIST '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.
