A little gem of gentle irony, domestic intrigue and vintage romance.
Lady Rose is about to come out to the society. Life of a peer’s daughter in 1890s England has privileges and limitations, but Lady Rose is not interested in the conventional path prepared for her. She wants to inhale life like her favourite poet, Lord Byron, advises. Her new lady’s maid, Norah, is to be a fellow member in her secret society of “Carpe Diem”.
“Life cannot be only long walks and musings,” Lady Rose said. “A complete life requires events.”
When an equally unconventional gentleman is presented to Lady Rose, her notions of love, honour and loyalty are shifted. Life has an education in store for her.
If you enjoy a bit of upstairs-downstairs drama, this is the book for you!
