Gail Carriger hat eine Novelle geschrieben, die in ihrer “Lady Alexia”-Welt spielt, diesmal aber eine lesbische Liebe in den Mittelpunkt stellt.
Romancing the Inventor ist 149 Seiten lang und erscheint am 1. November 2016.
Carriger beschreibt die Novelle als “a steampunk lesbian romance featuring a maid bent on seducing a brilliant cross-dressing scientist who’s too brokenhearted to notice.”
Zum Klappentext:
Imogene Hale is a lowly parlourmaid with a soul-crushing secret. Seeking solace, she takes work at a local hive, only to fall desperately in love with the amazing lady inventor the vampires are keeping in the potting shed.
Genevieve Lefoux is heartsick, lonely, and French. With culture, class, and the lady herself set against the match, can Imogene and her duster overcome all odds and win Genevieve’s heart, or will the vampires suck both of them dry?
This is a stand-alone LBGTQ sweet romance set in Gail Carriger’s Parasolverse, full of class prejudice, elusive equations, and paranormal creatures taking tea.
Delicate Sensibilities? This story contains women pleasing women and ladies who know what they want and pursue it, sometimes in exquisite detail.
Ich mag die “Lady Alexia”-Romane von Carriger ziemlich gern (bzw. die hervorragend eingelesenen Hörbücher), und bin jetzt ziemlich neugierig!
