Emma's relationships with Islington, Pierce, and Hawkes becomes closer and more complicated. They pass Christmas together and Emma reaches her 21st birthday, when she legally gains her majority. A lot of good it does her, since she barely has any inheritance left, so she takes a job as a lady's companion and tutor. That doesn't go so well, due to some mishaps with some pets. The whole fiasco is nearly worth it because she gets to share the story with her new friend, Mrs. Penury.
This is just more of the writing confection that is Emma Lion. The characters are all brilliant, and Brower comes up with some really delightful moments, both happy and sad. It is such a lovely story of a shattered young woman and the three men who decide to hold her gently while she gradually mends. (247 p. 2022)
