Victoria-Margaret is the crown princess of the empire, a direct descendent of Victoria I, the queen who changed the course of history. The imperial tradition of genetically arranged matchmaking will soon guide Margaret into a politically advantageous marriage. But before she does her duty, she'll have one summer of freedom and privacy in a far corner of empire. Posing as a commoner in Toronto, she meets Helena Marcus, daughter of one of the empire's greatest placement geneticists, and August Callaghan, the heir to a powerful shipping firm currently besieged by American pirates. In a summer of high-society debutante balls, politically charged tea parties, and romantic country dances, Margaret, Helena, and August discover they share an extraordinary bond and maybe a one-in-a-million chance to have what they want and to change the world in the process. Set in a near-future world where the British Empire was preserved not by the cost of blood and theft but by the effort of repatriation and promises kept, That Inevitable Victorian Thing is a surprising, romantic, and thought-provoking story of love, duty, and the small moments that can change people and the world. ★ \"This witty and romantic story is a must-read.\"-SLJ, starred review ★ \"Compelling and unique-there's nothing else like it.\"-Booklist, starred review. ★ \"[A] powerful and resonant story of compassion, love, and finding a way to fulfill obligations while maintaining one's identity.\"-PW, starred review","brand":"DUTTON","offers":[{"title":"Used - like new","offer_id":53584550330710,"sku":"9781101994979-N","price":15.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781101994979_1.jpg?v=1778465275","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/e-johnston-k-that-inevitable-victorian-thing-9781101994979","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
