Observations on the Danger of Female Curiosity: Including an account of the unnatural tendencies arising on the over-stimulation of the mind of a lady by Suzanne Moss

5.0

Thea Morell lives and breathes natural history and science. Unfortunately, Thea was born into a time of gowns and petticoats, where the eldest daughter must maintain her social standing, marry well, and secure her family’s future. Maintaining her social standing does not include indulging her curious mind, or her unexpected passion for a lady friend.

Convinced that her eccentricities result from her over-stimulated mind, Thea must choose between love, passion, and duty in this delightfully informative, impeccably researched Sapphic historical fiction.

In this debut novel, Suzanne Moss has delivered everything I look for in sapphic historical fiction ... smart ladies who love ladies, a wee bit of mystery, and characters who fight for love against all odds.

I understand this is the first of three books, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Highly recommend.
