Member recommendations

  1. Torikton recommends The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
  2. Caramellunacy recommends And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander, "Unconventional heroines rebel against Victorian mores to pursue their intellectual interests. The Elizabeth Peters novels are sillier (including prodding (see more) people with parasols) and is set against a backdrop of Egyptian archaeology. The Tasha Alexander mysteries are less openly subversive of Victorian morals, and And Only to Deceive draws on Homer's Iliad."
  3. Caramellunacy recommends Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark by Donna Lea Simpson, "Both novels feature a prickly, very intelligent 'spinster' unravelling a seemingly paranormal mystery while charming a large and irascible love interest. (see more) There were snippets of dialogue in Lady Anne that definitely reminded me of the Amelia Peabody novels. Crocodile on the Sandbank - archaeological mystery set in Egypt. Lady Anne - Gothic romance"
  4. foggidawn recommends The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman
  5. Cynara recommends Letters from Egypt: A journey on the Nile, 1849-1850 by Florence Nightingale, "Florence went down the Nile in a dahabiyya thirty-two years before the great fictional Victorian lady Amelia Peabody, but there's still much overlap!"
