by Amy Levy (Author), Richard Garnett (Author)
Centring on the Lorimer sisters, who open a photography business after the death of their father, The Romance of a Shop offers a vivid portrait of women determined to achieve independence in a society that offers them few options.
Set in late Victorian London, the story explores work, friendship, ambition, and financial survival, presenting a thoughtful examination of the lives of the 'New Women' and the challenges they faced. Levy combines social realism with warmth and quiet humour, capturing both the hardships and small triumphs of everyday life.
A significant work of early feminist fiction, The Romance of a Shop remains a compelling read for those interested in women's history, gender roles, and Victorian society
