I picture them moving side by side: she in the white summer dress worn in the portrait, and he in one of the dark suits he was often cased in, his long, unkempt beard hiding the knot of his black silk necktie.

Like wandering onto a secret picnic attended by Pride and Prejudice and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Shades of Milk and Honey is precisely the sort of tale we would expect from Jane Austen…if only she had been a fantasy writer. This debut novel from an award-winning talent scratches a literary itch you never knew you had. But when her family’s honor is threatened, she finds that she must push her skills to the limit in order to set things right-and, in the process, accidentally wanders into a love story of her own. At the ripe old age of twenty-eight, Jane has resigned herself to being invisible forever. Jane resists this fate, and rightly so: while her skill with glamour is remarkable, it is her sister who is fair of face, and therefore wins the lion’s share of the attention. But despite the prevalence of magic in everyday life, other aspects of Dorchester’s society are not that different: Jane and her sister Melody’s lives still revolve around vying for the attentions of eligible men. ![]() ![]() Shades of Milk and Honey is an intimate portrait of Jane Ellsworth, a woman ahead of her time in a world where the manipulation of glamour is considered an essential skill for a lady of quality. ![]() ![]() ![]() Participants and non-participants on this forum can and will be banned by the moderation staff for any reason or non-reason whatsoever.
