About this listen
When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company.
When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, writing the family into the story as unflattering characters, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance - and perhaps even her father's death.
Author Joanna Davidson Politano's stunning debut set in Victorian England will delight listeners with its highly original plot, lush setting, vibrant characters, and reluctant romance.

Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside Crestwicke Manor. Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings—mostly negative—about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter.

Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town.

Dying is the only thing people do with any regularity, and Fiona makes her indecorous living cleaning up after the corpses are carted away.

stunning story

Gender roles were already shifting sure but this book acts as if it was widely accepted for a woman to be an author for one, and for a unmarried gentry woman who grew up in depter's prison, to write this particular types of books, be accepted back into her noble family, not questioned on her many blunders, despite the fact this was just not how thing worked. The book is an entertaining romance set with a somewhat historical background.
If someone wants to write a proper (clean) historical romance, fine but they should at least understand what the historical context was and how it will inevitably impact the story and limitate the characters options.
This book is entertaining if you have nothing better to read, but I would rather go back to one of Austen's book than listen to this one again.
