Another entertaining, clever volume about Emma Lion as she interacts with the interesting residents in St. Crispians. In this volume we learn a bit more about Maxwell, her true love. Normally I laugh throughout these volumes, however; I cried during a couple of entries in this one.
The word choice, the word placement, and the allusions are clever and apt.
*Highly recommend.
Considerations: a couple of swear words, in the beginning Emma finds herself in a dance club (nothing inappropriate occurs but it was a shameful place to be back in the 1883s) Emma's cousin view of marriage-she makes a comment that she would marry for convenience and then enjoy gazing at Emma's handsome border, Niall, Niall does not believe in God and refers to it, Emma attends church weekly-she seems to enjoy the poetry that Young Hawkes, the vicar, shares more than the biblical text
-Borrowed from the library.
