Looking for a new series to end your summer break? Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily Series is an exciting set of historical fiction mysteries that will surely keep you entertained.
Set in 1800s England, Lady Emily Ashton finds herself a young widow after only a few months of marriage. The strange part is that she is not very sad about her new circumstances. Yes, she misses having a man around, but she never really knew him, let alone loved him. Mind you, she would have liked to love him had she had more time, but she only married him in a rush to get away from her overbearing mother.
With her new found independence, Emily transforms the way she is viewed by society. She does not want to be forced to marry again and she does not want to go along with traditional customs that are forced upon ladies of her era. On her journey to discover herself, she finds the writings of her late husband, who apparently loved her dearly. Is it possible that Emily could fall for someone who is gone as she learns more and more about him?
Alexander gives the perfect account of a blossoming lady with new found freedom in an age where ladies simply do not have much freedom. Whether it is by taking up ancient Greek or drinking port with the men at her dinners, Emily paves a new path for herself and discovers who will stand by her.
I hope you enjoy Lady Emily’s adventure as much as I do, though the mystery alone will keep you engaged until the very last page. Happy reading, friends!
