Bag om A Calamity of Mannerings
â¿It is a curse to be born a girlâ¿â¿ Take a peek into the diary of Panth (never enquire as to her given name), a young woman knocking on the gilded door of adult life and high society. But kicking up oneâ¿s heels at the Café de Paris does not come easily to a girl navigating:1. Poverty (even the genteel kind), thanks to her papaâ¿s sad demise2. A lack of any experience whatsoever with the opposite sex, of course not counting Freddy Spencer (and he wasnâ¿t that sort of experience, anyhow) 3. Multiple sisters with ideas, a grandmother with opinions and one recalcitrant sheepPanth knows there is more for her out in the world â¿ itâ¿s 1924, for goodnessâ¿ sake â¿ and that could include swoonsome American with excellent teeth, Buck Buchanan. The question is â¿ how in the name of Tatler is she to claim it?A hilarious coming-of-age story for fans of I Capture the Castle and Bridgerton. Cover illustration by Emma Block.
