Observing the absurd follies of polite society, one drawing-room at a time.
I do enjoy a strong opinion, but if a man opens by calling a woman’s work “too domestic,” I know he’s about to write 900 pages about himself.
A gentleman just said my novels lack action, which is rich coming from men who need 300 pages to enter a room.

Apparently my books are “too domestic.” Yes, and yet half the gentlemen in print still can’t manage a sensible proposal. Curious.
