Hello everyone and hope your week has started off well. It’s book haul day and today I’m sharing three Virago hardbacks that I got in the most beautiful editions which Virago call their Coming Of Age Collection. My Brilliant Career follows a young girl called Sybylla who is coming of age in early 20th century Australia and she is refusing to marry a wealthy man in order to maintain her independence. Slammerkin is by one of my favourite authors and I’m slowly getting round to her backlist. This tells the story of Mary Saunders, a lower class girl in the 18th century who despairs at the life ahead of her. She decides to strike out and make her own path in life. Invitation To The Waltz follows Olivia Curtis as she prepares for her first dance and teeters on the edge of womanhood. Unlike her sister, she is awkward and shy and is terrified at the prospect of such a ritual in her already restricted social life. This particular haul is a bit niche but I’d still love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve read these or any other books by these authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments. Have a lovely week everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookhaul #bookhoarder #bookheaven #beautifulbooks #hardbackhoarder #hardbackhaul #viragomodernclassics #viragocomingofageclassics #mybrilliantcareer #milesfranklin #slammerkin #emmadonoghue #invitationtothewaltz #rosamondlehmann #bookstagrammer #morebooksplease https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfP1fZIq3f/?utm_medium=tumblr
