Title: Shades of Milk and Honey
Author: Mary Robinette Kowal
Genre: Jane Austen, if Elizabeth Bennet learned to cast illusions
Thingummies: 4
Synopsis: In Regency England, the art of casting glamours is as much a womanly accomplishment as playing the piano or painting. Jane Ellsworth is an accomplished glamourist, which is faint comfort when her exceptionally plain face leaves her a wallflower at every ball. Her sister Melody has all the beauty and none of the accomplishments. An influx of newcomers to the neighborhood--a young Navy captain, a girl with a secret, and a mysteriously brusque professional glamourist--set the girls' well-ordered world on its side. Will Jane find herself a suitor at last, or will she watch her family's very honor crumble?
Thoughts: ( So, what did you think? )
