Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
This thrilling steampunk novel set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Parasol Protectorate is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor that Gail Carriger's legions of fans have come to adore.Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than in proper manners--and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish ... everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
Gail Carriger, a New York Times bestselling author, writes to cope with growing up in obscurity as the daughter of an exiled Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She abandoned small-town life and mistakenly earned numerous degrees from colleges and universities. Carriger then journeyed around Europe's famous cities, surviving solely on cookies stashed in her handbag. She lives in the Colonies, surrounded by amazing shoes, and she only drinks tea from London.
