The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol. 5
Book 5 of the The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion series
The closing months of 1883 find Emma increasingly at home in St. Crispian’s and increasingly incapable of avoiding its delightful bedlam. Books, church, family expectations, neighborhood affairs, and the people she has come to care about all compete for her attention. What began as a plan for independence and study has grown into a life crowded with friendships, loyalties, and questions Emma cannot simply reason away. With her usual wit and sideways amusement, she records a Victorian winter that closes the first year of her London story.
