Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1831, Anne Lister began settling into a new apartment overlooking the sea at 15 Pelham Crescent in Hastings. She was pleased to discover a comforting piece of Yorkshire Parkin in her packing box. #2 Anne Lister had been introduced to the Hobarts and Stuart de Rothesays in 1829 by Vere’s late aunt, Sibella Maclean. They were important society people, and Vere’s cousin, Charles Stuart, the husband of Lady Stuart de Rothesay, was ambassador at the British Embassy in Paris. #3 Anne’s first impressions of Vere were not entirely favorable. She thought Vere was a goose, and when comparing her to Mariana Lawton, the on-off lover for whom she still harbored complicated feelings, Anne decided that Vere was simply a good-humored fat girl. But as the two women got to know each other, Anne began to like her. #4 Anne was able to treat her friends to some unusual cultural experiences in Paris. She took Vere and the Stuart de Rothesays to see the inside of a skeleton of a female whale.
