Phoebe Junior: A Last Chronicle of Carlingford is the final installment in the Chronicles of Carlingford series, set in the fictional English provincial town of Carlingford during the 1860s to the late 1870s. The novel delves into the social intricacies and evolving conventions of Victorian society, centering on Phoebe Beecham, a clever and accomplished young woman hailing from a family that faces the challenge of class distinctions. Themes of gender politics, the influence of money, familial ambitions, and romantic alliances are explored against the backdrop of social and moral questions. The narrative was adapted into a four-part radio drama for BBC Radio 4 in 1994.

I am laughing so loud at 3:44am in London as I read this and my stifled laughter sounds like sobbing and laughing! 😂if I get committed it’ll be your fault! At night you can hear everything from downstairs in this (coincidentally) Victorian house in west Ken! Lol I think I was born in the wrong era bc I love all things Victorian etc except how women were actually treated and I love the way women of all classes got together to become suffragettes!🙏 🪽🪷💜🪷🪽
