The dialogue is crackling, the characters are engaging, and the historical context and references were spot on. I can’t find enough adjectives to praise An Improbable Season. Can these young women find their happily ever afters in this turbulent London Season?Ī clever, witty, delightful, story. Kalli finds herself embroiled in scandal and reliant upon an arranged marriage to redeem her reputation, Thalia’s dreams of becoming a great poet are threatened by her attraction to a charming rake, and Charis finds herself an unexpected social hit-and the source of a scientific dilemma that her heart might not survive. But it doesn’t take long for things to fall apart. Their cousin Charis hopes to earn her place among the (nearly exclusively male) scientific elite. Her sister, Kalli, aims to take high society by storm, with parties and gowns galore and a proper husband at the end of it all. Thalia means to make her mark among the intelligentsia and publish her poetry. When Thalia, Kalliope, and Charis set off to Regency London for their first Season, they know exactly what they want. During the Regency-era, two sisters and a cousin do their first London Season searching for husbands, or their own agency, by stretching the boundaries of society, and their own expectations.
