What the readers say about ELFIE, Season 1:

“I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction that is well researched and different than other books set in a similar time period.”

“I really enjoyed this book. I loved how naive Elfie was at the beginning and how she slowly starts learning more about the world throughout the story. I also loved how her and Angus still had issues with each other and their arrangement wasn’t exactly perfect.”

“I really enjoyed reading this book as it is written in such a rich way. I was actually upset that the book ended and I couldn’t find out what happens next!!”

Excerpt:

“All around the drawing room, pairs of eyes went from François-Xavier to Elfie, following their verbal joust with curiosity. But the fight was not equal— Elfie had never before participated in a conversation among adults. Yet, it was interesting to express herself. Terrifying, but interesting.

Quietly, in her deep, measured voice, she answered, “I think… I think that until now, they have taught me nothing, but rather have done everything in their power to prevent me from learning. It is easy for you, sir, to speak as you do. You learned everything you wanted to, read everything that interested you. Your parents did not prevent you from going out to see the world. Indeed, they encourage young men to go out. You should not permit yourself to judge a person who, for no other reason than her sex, has been intellectually imprisoned since her birth.”
