Description

Bridgerton fans rejoice! This epistolary confection—told in letters among three school friends—is perfect for devotees of gossipy costume drama.

Tirzah, Sophia, and Polly are best friends who’ve left boarding school and gone back to very different lives. The year is 1896, and Polly is teaching in an orphanage, Sophia is scouting for a rich husband at the London Season, and Tirzah is stuck acting as an unpaid companion to her grandmother.

In a series of letters buzzing with atmosphere and drama, the friends air their dreams, hopes, frustrations, and romances. Can this trio of very different young women—one industrious, one artful, and one in exile—find happiness and love near the dawn of the Edwardian era?

From the award-winning author of the Carnegie Medal–nominated historical romance The Silent Stars Go By comes a playful, feel-good story of friendship and aspiration pitched just right for fans of Jane Austen and her contemporary disciples.

"Via letters rendered using a chatty, confiding tone, Nicholls (The Silent Stars Go By) presents a captivating epistolary novel set in 1896 that chronicles the friendship of teens Tirzah, Sophia, and Polly after they leave boarding school and embark on separate lives. . . . With great affection and sympathy, these winning heroines forge their own paths in this highly readable, tautly paced work." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An epistolary novel unfolding through letters, primarily round-robin correspondence between three young women in late-19th-century Britain. . . . This clever novel’s strength lies in its structure: The format effectively supports the drama, character development, voice, and pacing. . . A warm, gentle work with well-drawn characters and brisk pacing celebrating female friendship and independence." —Kirkus Reviews

"If Jane Austen were alive today, this is just the kind of book she might have written." —We Are Teachers
