Publisher Description
England, 1660. Ella Appleby believes she is destined for better things than slaving as a housemaid and dodging the blows of her drunken father. When her employer dies suddenly, she seizes her chance--taking his valuables and fleeing the countryside with her sister for the golden prospects of London. But London may not be the promised land she expects. Work is hard to find, until Ella takes up with a dashing and dubious gentleman with ties to the London underworld. Meanwhile, her old employer's twin brother is in hot pursuit of the sisters.
Set in a London of atmospheric coffee houses, gilded mansions, and shady pawnshops hidden from rich men's view, Deborah Swift's The Gilded Lily is a dazzling novel of historical adventure.

Why Jessica wants to read this: Historical novels are becoming more and more appealing to me. With the addition of the London underworld in this one I can't wait to read it. - Jessica

I'm liking historical romance a bit more now too, and I will throw one onto my website occasionally even though it's more Paranormal based!!

I've been reading a lot of Historical YA's lately but most of them have male MC's. Hope this lives up to your expectations!

I do like historical novels every now and then... they remind me of my pre-teen years when I gobbled up Ann Rinaldi books like candy. This one sounds interesting - nice pick!
