    Summary

    What if Jane Austen had selkies in it? That's it. That's the pitch

    For a young lady on her very first excursion to the seaside Miss Marianne Oliver was in deplorable spirits. When the apothecary had advised her father that sea air was the surest restorative for his weak lungs, his daughter had naturally fixed her hopes on them all visiting Bath. That fashionable bathing place, with its springs, piers and glittering assemblies, seemed to her the only possible choice for a gentleman in search of good health and good society.
    That her parents settled instead on summering in the quiet little fishing town of Thirrup was nothing short of incomprehensible to her. Having only just turned nineteen and having never set foot in London, the deprivation of a visit to Bath was a bitter disappointment.

    I think "historical portraits of Temeraire characters" is my new favourite genre.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The book ends on the right, meaningful note, but this is the epilogue I really wanted.
