The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 1

In 1883, Emma M. Lion returns to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian's, hoping to begin a quiet life of study and independence. Instead, she finds herself drawn into a world of eccentric relatives, unexpected complications, and the peculiar inhabitants of Lapis Lazuli House.

Presented through Emma's own candid and often self-incriminating journals, Emma M. Lion's Unselected Journals captures the absurdities and small triumphs of everyday life with intelligence, wit, and a keen eye for human nature. Between the meddling of her formidable Aunt Eugenia, the schemes of her unusual cousin Archibald, and the many surprises of her surroundings, Emma records a charming portrait of a young woman navigating family, society, and the unpredictable adventures of her own making.
