This is a historical f/f romance novella set tangentially in Milan's "Worth Saga" series. One of the two lead characters, Mrs Martin, shows up briefly in a previous book in the series as a minor character, but this book stands on its own.
Featured: Mrs Bertrice Martin, an elderly widow who is entirely out of patience with men and has no more fucks to give but also nothing left to live for, and Miss Violetta Beauchamp, an impoverished "surplus woman" who's recently been let go of her boarding-house-manager position after 50 years and is desperate to get a bit of money so that she has something to live on. They are united in their desire to get back at Bertrice's Terrible Nephew who is a tenant in arrears at the boarding house in question.
This book is extremely good for an extremely specific mood, and that mood is "MEN ARE THE WORST." It is not a subtle book. But you know, sometimes you don't need subtle! ( Read more... )
