The Care and Feeding Of Waspish Widows

"In Regency England, the widowed owner of a London printshop, Agatha Griffin, finds more than she bargained for in her warehouse in a small town outside the city – a swarm of bees and a very enticing beekeeper, Penelope Flood. First friendship, then attraction, blossoms – though plenty of complications ensue, including the return of Penelope’s husband and the rise of an anti-vice society. This is a gorgeously written novel with beautiful worldbuilding and vividly composed characters that leaves the reader with a feeling that a happy ever after is possible at any age, in any age."
