Overview
¿Quién es Emma M. Lion?
Una indomable joven victoriana cuyos diarios se han convertido en una adicción literaria llena de humor, ingenio y encanto irresistible.
Tras la muerte de sus padres y su paso por un internado para señoritas, Emma ha pasado los últimos tres años viviendo con su insoportable y tiránica prima Matilde. Mientras tanto, el primo Archibald ha estado a cargo de Lapis Lazuli House, la casa que los padres de Emma le dejaron al morir en el encantador barrio de St. Crispian's, y manejando la herencia de la joven a su antojo. A punto de alcanzar la mayoría de edad, Emma está decidida a recuperar su casa y a tomar las riendas de su vida.
Archibald, sin embargo, no está dispuesto a ceder sin luchar, así que cierra con llave la biblioteca y relega a Emma al desván. Para colmo, ni siquiera es un desván entero, sino solo una parte, ya que Archibald, para poder costear su inexplicable afición a las batas matutinas, tabicó una parte de la vivienda con la intención de alquilarla.
Pero Emma, equipada con su encanto irresistible, su talento y su carácter rebelde, no va a rendirse.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Who is Emma M. Lion?
An indomitable young Victorian woman whose diaries have become a literary obsession brimming with humor, wit, and irresistible charm.
Following the death of her parents and her time at a boarding school for young ladies, Emma has spent the last three years living with her unbearable and tyrannical cousin Matilde. Meanwhile, her cousin Archibald has been in charge of Lapis Lazuli House—the home Emma’s parents left her upon their death in the charming neighborhood of St. Crispian’s—and managing the young woman’s inheritance as he pleases. On the verge of coming of age, Emma is determined to reclaim her home and take control of her life.
Archibald, however, is not willing to give in without a fight, so he locks the library and banishes Emma to the attic. To make matters worse, it isn’t even a whole attic, but only a part of it, since Archibald—in order to finance his inexplicable fondness for dressing gowns—partitioned off a section of the house with the intention of renting it out.
But Emma, armed with her irresistible charm, her talent, and her rebellious spirit, isn’t about to give up.
