The year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St Crispian’s.
But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric cousin Archibald, her formidable aunt Eugenia and the slightly odd denizens of St Crispian’s.
Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House in her Unselected Journals – however self-incriminating they might be.
