Synopsis
This book is an engaging portrayal of growing up in a large Victorian family and a vivid account of life for women in an era of great societal and technological change. The author, Nancy, details her often amusing, sometimes shocking, and always insightful coming-of-age story, offering a rare glimpse into the inner world of one British family over 150 years ago. The author's experiences provide a window into the past, revealing how different and yet, in some ways, how similar the challenges faced by young women were in Victorian England. The author's recollections reveal the strictures placed upon young ladies of the upper classes in the Victorian era and the limits that were placed on their opportunities for personal fulfilment. Yet the book is infused with wry humour and a touching nostalgia, capturing the rich detail of everyday life in a bygone era. This book is a valuable addition to the historical record, offering a fascinating and immersive look at the past through the lens of one young woman's experiences.

About the Author
Rhoda Broughton (29 November 1840 – 5 June 1920) was a Welsh novelist and short story writer. Her early novels earned her a reputation for sensationalism which caused her later and stronger work to be neglected by serious critics, though she was described as a queen of the circulating libraries.
