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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStoryglory Cautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e There is humorous discussion of romance and courting; several references to drinking and gambling; and brief language including \"damned,\" \"bastard,\" and \"godforsaken.\" A ghost is said to roam around Lapis Lazuli Manor, and Emma discusses luck and fate multiple times.
