The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 3

In 1883, Emma M. Lion returns to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian's with hopes of leading a quiet, scholarly life. Instead, fate seems determined to intervene, as her carefully planned days are overturned by a series of misfortunes, misunderstandings, and unexpected encounters.

Through her candid and often self-revealing journals, Emma chronicles the peculiar realities of life at Lapis Lazuli House. With intelligence, wit, and a delightfully dry sense of humor, she navigates the interference of her eccentric cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the unusual characters who populate St. Crispian's. Together, these entries offer a charming portrait of a young woman finding her way through the chaos and comedy of everyday life.
