Booklist - 09/15/2024 Follow three friends, cousins Eleanor and Charlotte along with neighbor George, as they deal with the difficulties of growing up and falling in love. Charlotte feels like a charity case taken in by Eleanor’s parents, struggling to balance finding security with battling the prejudice she faces as a mixed-race, poor relative. Eleanor cares for her father, who has become increasingly shut-in and paranoid since his wife’s death. George inherited the family estate and must oversee its precarious finances while hiding how comfortable they are in masculine clothing—and the way they feel about Eleanor. What follows is a lovely historical romance worthy of Austen, along with an epilogue dedicated to showcasing what is known about queer people of the past. The art really shines in softly depicting the fashions of the time, as well as the tumultuous emotional journeys of the cast. Fans of the earnest sweetness found in Heartstopper (2020) or the Regency pining of Sarah Vaughn’s Ruined (2023) will be delighted. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
