About this audiobook
"NOT YOUR REGULAR VICTORIAN ROMANCE"
“I am about to pretend to faint,” said Rachel.
“I am most grateful for this small mercy.”
The Vassemer sisters grew up in a large, ancient house in Lincolnshire with their father, Sir Henry. In the village the Vassemers enjoy a solid reputation for eccentricity, and it cannot be denied that it is entirely deserved. Sir Henry is an astronomer, and his eldest daughter, Rachel, at the age of thirty-three is firmly convinced that she herself is an astronomer as well—as though a woman could possibly comprehend the complexities of the cosmos. Naturally she is destined to remain a spinster.
The younger daughters, instead of troubling themselves with making their debuts in society like any sensible young lady, have resolved to devote themselves respectively to writing and to the cause of women’s suffrage—as though there were a single reason why women ought to be permitted to vote.
Fortunately their house collapses, Sir Henry dies, and the girls are sent off to three separate guardians. Rachel finds herself on the great estate of Lord Julian Acton, Marquess of Northdall and several other titles besides: a widower with two sons barely out of adolescence, an inscrutable Indian butler, and a single passion in life—horses.
Lord Northdall, however, is no tyrant, and he and Miss Rachel soon reach an agreement founded upon common sense. Miss Rachel may continue to be as unpresentable as she pleases in private, but in public she will conduct herself as a perfect gentlewoman.
Miss Rachel agrees. No, truly. She agrees.
Unfortunately, being normal is not quite so simple when you are a Vassemer, and Lord Northdall will soon discover this at considerable personal cost.
Unfit is a trilogy about the tribulations of several perfectly respectable gentlemen who asked nothing more of life than peace, quiet, and the sacred comforts of the patriarchy — now besieged by the staggering tactlessness of three young women with heads full of nonsense, set in a better time, when men were men and women were houseplants.
