Victorian Chaise-Longue (Revised)

The Victorian Chaise Longue | Marghanita Laski

I know I should be more responsible but I haven't gotten any Persephone volumes in so long! I cracked and came away with the tagged book, as well as one of their newest, Sofia Petrovna, and Doreen, which has been my next "must buy" for literal years. My goal is to resume a monthly #PersephonePick in 2024; this year I fell off the bandwagon completely, but all my titles are still there waiting for me! Along with a few new ones for good measure.

Tamra Yay!! So fun! 11mo

LeahBergen What a lovely Persephone haul! 11mo

Ruthiella But you bought three, which means you saved money, which is totally responsible. 👍 11mo

pick

Young wife Melanie falls asleep on a Victorian chaise-longue and wakes up 80 years earlier in 1864, unable to rise or to make anyone understand who she really is. For now she is Milly, dying of TB.

She recognises things, and feels emotional towards people, which, if she were Melanie in someone else‘s body, she wouldn‘t have been able to. In 99 pages this is a small book with a powerful message and an interesting and terrifying plot. #Persephone
