But being around her aunt was decidedly unpleasant, so Juliana took every opportunity to leave the house and explore the area. And although her aunt was petty and derisive, Juliana was fond of her cousin Carrie, as well as Carrie’s father, who was sympathetic to Juliana. She had an ulterior motive: she hoped to find a publisher for the studies she and her father had been conducting on the Coccinellidae, or the lady beetle. Nevertheless, she opted to travel to London from her home in the countryside and stay with her vicious Aunt Phyllis to participate in the social activities. In this charming Regency romance for young adults, Juliana Telford, at age 18, was already considered “over the hill” for the coming-out season in London.
