OMG, Mariann!! What a wonderful, wonderful surprise to find in my mailbox! ❤️❤️ You chose a Persephone for me that I DON‘T own (and had just added to my “want” list while going through the catalogue again 😆)! I‘m so excited about the Austen book; it looks fantastic. I love the little British bookmarks and especially enjoyed your sweet letter.

Published in the late 19th Century, this is a recent read for me. There are actually two mystery novellas in this one tome. Both feature strong, central, female characters who suffer at the hands of men, yet find ways to overcome.
