ISABELLE S THE GREAT MISFORTUNE OF STELLA SEDGWICK

Bridgerton meets The Davenports in this wildly entertaining standalone romance  following a
young Black woman trying to balance her independence with her future in 1860s London’s high
society.   Stella Sedgwick is a lost cause.  Banished from etiquette lessons and unsure of her
future  Stella dreams of a writing career and independence  but 1860s England offers little
opportunity beyond marriage or servitude for a sharp-tongued  dark-skinned girl.  When her late
mother’s former employer summons Stella to London  he tells her of his intention to bequeath
one of the family’s great estates to her. It’s a life-changing inheritance  but one that will
precipitate a legal battle that would be easier if Stella were married. With her cousin Olivia
by her side  Stella is thrust into London society and must navigate fashion and balls  insults
and stares  and a rekindled connection to Nathaniel  her childhood best friend with a rakish
reputation.    Beyond the marriage market  living in London presents intriguing opportunities
to Stella  like picking up her mother’s anonymous advice column to guide readers through
upper-class perils. As new acquaintances are made and old secrets are uncovered  Stella must
decide when to play by the rules  when to break them  and when to let herself follow her heart.
