This was such a treat to read.
A true queer homage to Jane Austen - if you're a fan of her work, I would recommend giving this a read.
Lots of thoughts on queer people of the past, and black people in Britain's history and I think this was represented wonderfully. All tied up in a feel good story about love - love between friends, love between family, and romantic love.
I think this is easily going to be a future comfort read for me.
(Note: I received an ARC sampler - the first 88 pages - from Netgalley, but loved it so much, I bought the book myself.)
