Allen, Grant - The Type-Writer Girl

Juliet, daughter of an officer, raised to be a lady.
Until her father dies, in circumstances leaving her without a pension; casting Juliet adrift and in economic straits.
She does own a typewriter, however, and knows how to take dictation. In the City, there are openings aplenty.
Exciting, picturesque novel dashes through condescending adventures, demanding situations, and into the gardens of romance. Juliet, as a “woman”, then and now, must navigate the “man’s world”.
Amusing, ofttimes funny, this showcases Juliet as a clear eyed pragmatic. She knows her worth, her value, as well as her situation. Also recognizes that in her Edwardian era, class still weighs heavily.
An engaging adventure, well suited for fans of this period. For bright eyed Janeites, ever yearning for Romance, brace up!
Note: My copy was a Broadview edition. As ever with this press I advise you DO NOT read the Introduction first. Every Intro consists of a spoiler filled synopsis, typically found in a 5th Grade book report. Read their Introduction AFTER concluding the book.
