Isabella Grayson's shoes sank into the plush carpet of Broadland's south hall, and she released a soft sigh. What luxury!
I am starting this book today. I am super excited to dive into it! Edwardian is one of my absolute favorite eras to read...or watch (yes, I am a Downton Abbey fan)!
What is your favorite Edwardian story(book, TV show, movie)???

Over on my blog, I am featuring Brett Armstrong's novel Destitutio Quod Remissio. It's an interesting read so far. Here I will post the first lines from chapter four of this book.
"The streets were filled beyond the usual that day, or perhaps it only appeared so to Marcus. The market district was expansive enough to accommodate thousands. Over it looked the tall stone buildings surrounding the huge open Forum that was the city's center for centuries. All of the grand structures were washed white by the noon's radiance and loomed large over the transactions of Rome's citizens."
Ah, this sounds amazing!
DeleteI love the cover, and I'm looking forward to reading this as well!
ReplyDeleteI’m about to start reading The Boy in the Hoodie, a young adult novel by debut Australian author Catriona McKewon. Here’s the first line:
Before I met him, there wasn’t much I knew about the boy in the hoodie.He seemed to live above the rules.
Intriguing!
