This is one of those books that caught my eye a while back. I think I requested an e-galley too late, but this sounds like a book I’d be willing to buy.

I adored Anna Karenina because for me, she just stepped right off the pages. She had such a real, forceful personality. Your description of this book makes me hope I could love Arabella just as much 🙂

In reply to Shannon @ River City Reading. I liked it a lot, Shannon. It may not have been the best life but she's smart and owns it. And stands up to men- which I really like.

In reply to Katie @ Words for Worms. It covers a lot of territory but does it in an entertaining way.

In reply to Rebecca @ Love at First Book. What a question, Rebecca! In this day and age there a re a lot of different options but in the 1840s there were no strip clubs, no secretarial jobs, no teachers (no schools or children around yet), no maids so if I were penniless and homeless and had a family to support- who knows what I might have done?!

So I smiled at the part of how she comes and goes out of prostitution based on necessity. Because it does make me think: what would “force” (based on necessity, of course) me to go into prostitution? I think stripping would be a better task because of course you’d have to get naked, but you’d be in such great shape and you wouldn’t be risking yourself with disease!

Catherine, what would necessitate you into prostitution? 😛 (You totally don’t have to answer that, or if you actually want to you can FB message it to me, I’m just being kind of silly).

This one sounds interesting- I love a good sweeping saga.
