Note

The Unselected Journals of Emma Lion is a clever and heartwarming series by Beth Brower, presented in a diary format that chronicles the daily life of the fictional Emma Lion, an independent and sharp-witted young woman navigating 19th-century London. After inheriting her uncle's estate and responsibilities, Emma finds herself managing an eclectic household, uncovering family secrets, and engaging in social and romantic intrigues—all while recording her thoughts with humor, insight, and occasional exasperation. The charm of the series lies in Emma’s strong voice, the richly developed characters, and the blend of mystery, wit, and period detail that make her journals feel both personal and immersive.

The best thing about The Unselected Journals of Emma Lion is Emma herself—her voice is fresh, intelligent, and irresistibly witty, making every page feel like a lively conversation with a dear friend. Her inner thoughts, filled with sharp observations and dry humor, bring a unique perspective to the ordinary and extraordinary events of her life. Readers are drawn not just to the unfolding story but to the feeling of genuinely knowing Emma, watching her grow through grief, duty, and unexpected adventure. Her blend of independence, vulnerability, and courage makes her one of the most compelling and memorable narrators in modern historical fiction.
